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!

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

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.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
