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
