Migrating Oracle Solaris 8 P2V with Oracle Database 10.2 and ASM

The procedure for migrating a physical Solaris 8 P2V system with Oracle database 10.2 with an ASM file system into a Solaris 8 branded Zone inside a Solaris 10 guest domain on top of a Solaris 11 control domain is the subject of a recent post by Orgad Kimchi. The author presents two examples. One preserves the host information while the second involves modifying the host name. For this task the ASM file system was located on a LUN in SAN storage connected via FC HBA, and the same LUN was used on both the source and target servers in order to avoid data migration. Kimchi successfully migrated the Solaris 8 physical system into the Solaris 8 branded Zone, and the Zone was able to access the ASM file system.
