Question worded incorrectly

Cloning a zone is analogous to installing a zone.

Hmm, very good information. I think I might have worded my question incorrectly.

I have two physically different machines, I have server A and server B which are both V210s that are connected to shared storage between the two.

I have configured on server A, the zone called zone1, which the files are located in /SAN/zone_data/zone1 which is the shared disk storage between A and B.

What I want to do is be able to issue a halt on zone1 on Server A, then issue a zone boot on server B to bring up zone1.

My question is, what do I have to do on Server B to configure the zone to run on B just like it is configured on A?

Both servers have identical Solaris 10 installations and same hardware specs.

Hopefully that makes a little more sense of what I'm trying to do, I'm sure it's pretty simple. I'll keep going over some more docs to see if I can't come up with something.

       -c class        Specify the class of the zone. If not specified, "IN" is assumed.

       -d	       Enable debugging.

       -j	       Read the journal, if it exists, when loading the zone file.

       -q	       Run in quiet mode, reporting only the exit status.

       -v	       Print the version of the named-checkzone program and exit.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       filename        The name of the zone file.

       zonename        The domain name of the zone being checked.

EXIT STATUS
