Right now I am experimenting with VMWare -> VMWare since it is easy to duplicate/recreate VMs. However we also have standalone x86 systems and SPARC machines, so I am trying to figure out a process for all variants, including ZFS/Solaris11 if possible.

I am always trying to restore to the same type of hardware and oslevel.

VMWare Solaris 10u10 -> VMWare Solaris 10u10
SPARC Solaris 10u11 -> SPARC Solaris 10u11
etc.

NAME
ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer DESCRIPTION
InfiniBand (IB) is an I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod- ule and adheres to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers. IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the IB Channel Interface (CI) and the IB Transport Interface (TI). The CI consists of Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host is attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris InfiniBand CI is Sun's API rendering of the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA) "verbs" specification. The Solaris InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides transport and communications setup programming interfaces for Unreliable Datagram (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only. FILES
