Migrating VCS clusters on Solaris 10 systems

You can migrate VCS clusters that run on Solaris 10 systems to solaris10 branded zones on Solaris 11 systems. For example, with branded zones you can emulate a Solaris 10 operating system as Solaris 10 container in the Solaris 11 branded zone. This Solaris 10 non-global zone acts as a complete runtime environment for Solaris 10 applications on Solaris 11 systems. You can directly migrate an existing Solaris 10 system into a Solaris 10 container.

Figure: Workflow to migrate VCS cluster to branded zones illustrates the workflow to migrate a VCS cluster on Solaris 10 systems to branded zones on Solaris 11 systems.

Assign the storage used for the VxVM volumes and VxFS file systems used by application inside the Solaris 10 physical system to the new system. Mount the VxFS file system using loop back mount or direct mount.
