Storage Migration on Solaris server

Hi All,

I need your help urgently.

Below I have given the brief description of the Architecture and the Problem.

The brief details of the architecture:

We have 5 Containers(Non-Global Zones) running on one T5220 Box. The Global Zone is running Solaris 10.
The Non-global Zones are running Solaris 8/9/10.
All the Non-Global zones are present in /Npbsunh2 File-system on the Global Zone.
We are planning to follow the following steps in order to migrate the /Npbsunh2 filesystem from one storage to another.
Bring down all Non-Global Zones(running on /Npbsunh2 file-system).
Take the cold-backup of /Npbsunh2 Filesystem.
Unmount the /Npbsunh2 File-system.
Mount the new LUN(disk) on /Npbsunh2.
Restore the cold Backup on /Npbsunh2.
Bring up all Non-Global Zones.
Please let me know, if this procedure seems fool-proof.
Please suggest if there's some better way to perform the migration.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,
Kamaldeep Singh

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
