Hi there
Yes, you are basically removing all the traces of the veritas boot / root encapsulation. Im not sure the /etc/system file is really used in a zone, infact most of it will be ignored. When you install the flar copy, on boot it will mention that certain paramters in the system file are ignored, so you might find that most of the veritas components are already ignored, so these steps are for completeness.
Removing the veritas db and checking the vfstab is more to stop errors coming on script, via boot up.
When you've made the flar dump, you've obviously told it what mounts to included, e.g. u01 / u02 /u03, when constructing the zone, you made new mounts, named the same, but using storage allocated to it via the global zone, or directly mounted into the zone.
The underlying type of the source f/s is irelevant, so once the dump is extracted back into the zone, your away.
The errors at boot up are regarding vxdmps, databases, and vfstab rubbish, so by removing all these before you boot, will make a clearer startup.
I will test it out, created a test zone, pour the dump into it, and see. Good thing about zones, is that once you shut them down, you can alter them via the global zone, aka, just cd down to the area where the install is, and amend files.
