Solaris - physical to virtual migration on the same M5000

Hello,

Firstly, apologies if the theme of this post is discussed elsewhere.

At the moment we have a dual-domain M5000 running. Each domain is running with equal amounts of CPU and memory.

What we'd like to do is move the 2 hosts in question (1 per domain) to a Solaris 10 zone of it's zone. Therefore, the same M5000 would be running 2 zones as opposed to 2 domains. All I know is that it's possible to go from physical to virtual with the use of a flar (although I am concerned about how Veritas SAN filesystems will be handled - boot disks are local and under SVM control) but cannot get my head around the symantecs of using the same M5000 to do so. I also gather that the domains of an M5000 can be "collapsed" to create a beast of a server but I've not done this as yet.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on how to achieve this, I'd very much appreciate it.

There are bound to be details I've missed which might be pertanent to figuring this out so will be happy to provide more info if I can.

Many thanks!

asadmin-stop-domain(1AS)					   User Commands					  asadmin-stop-domain(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-stop-domain, stop-domain - stops the given domain

SYNOPSIS

       stop-domain [--domaindir install_dir/domains][--terse=false] [--echo=false] [domain_name]

       stop-domain  stops the specified domain. If there is only one domain in the default domain directory (install_dir/domains), then no operand
       is required to stop the domain. However, if there is more than one domain, the domain operand must be specified. This command is  supported
       in local mode only.

OPTIONS

       --domaindir	       directory where the domain is to be stopped. If specified, path must be accessible in the filesystem. If not speci-
			       fied, the domainis stopped in the default install_dir/domains directory.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

OPERANDS

       domain_name	       name of the domain. Must be a unique name.

       Example 1: Using stop-domain

       asadmin> stop-domain sampleDomain
       Stoping Domain sampleDomain, please wait
       Domain sampleDomain stopped
       Command stop-domain executed successfully

       Where: the sampleDomain domain in the default domains directory is stopped.

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully

       1		       error in executing the command
