If it's the Solaris 10 updates, then best to have both systems in sync in terms of patches + packages really. After that then, zoneadm detach/attach are your best bet. > 2) From the zone that has Oracle is there anything I have to be aware of > when I move it? ah yes Oracle, well how are you managing the migration of the Oracle datafiles and so on, I assume you probably have some storage available to the zone via zonecfg add device etc?
I assume memory etc on the new system is sufficient for Oracle. In general moving an app like an Oracle DB, would require large amounts of testing, so that things like performance don't take a nosedive. In my experience with Oracle, moving from one system to another can induce performance issues with respect to how say access is configured to storage on the new system, or say how a later OS release might impact on the current optimised database, ie if your database is highly optimised with respect to one system, it might take some time to get it to say level on a later OS update etc. Very hard to tell with Oracle, so I'd strongly suggest trying to setup a test zone on target system and replicate the DB to this, in order to test performance etc beforehand.
