Hello all.

I am trying to migrate a zone on OpenSolaris from one identical system to another. It's going from x86 to sparc, but even when going from x86 to x86 I get the same error. Here's the build of both systems

SunOS hostname 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris  (source system)
SunOS hostname 5.11 snv_111b sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 Solaris (target system)

After creating the zone on zfs per expectations, I detach it it and get the typical directory you would expect:

# ls
SUNWdetached.xml  dev  root

I then run the following command to migrate the zone:

zfs send rpool/tedz...@migrate | ssh u...@hostname pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs receive -F rpool/tedz...@migrate

Everything looks good at that point. The zfs file system is mounted at rpool/tedzone automatically, and so I create a zone configuration to match that. However, when I run the attach I get the following error message:

zoneadm -z tedzone attach
cannot open 'rpool/tedzone/ROOT': dataset does not exist
ERROR: The -a, -d or -r option is required when there is no active root dataset

The funny thing here is that the zfs list on the source system doesn't mention this zfs file system:

rpool/tedzone              242M  64.1G  22.5K  /tedzone
rpool/tedzone/ROOT         242M  64.1G    19K  legacy
rpool/tedzone/ROOT/zbe     242M  64.1G   242M  /tedzone/root

Are we looking at a bug here?
