The zoneadm detach/re-attach options have been hit and miss for me. While this is NOT SUPPORTED, moving a zone manually isn't so hard:
1) Copy the line from your old global zone's /etc/zones/index file for the non-global zone you want to move to the new global zone's /etc/zones/index file * Modify the path if that is changing 2) Copy the /etc/zones/<zone name>.xml file to the new global zone into /etc/zones * Modify as needed (path, interface, etc) 3) Move the non-global zone's files to the new global zone using your favorite method (export/import disk, rsync, etc) 4) The zone _should_ startup as normal at this point and be seen as normal with zonecfg/zoneadm commands.
