这似乎是一件简单的事情，如果它只能按照文档工作。但是，由于 zoneadm 移动过程中的一些错误，它不起作用。去搞清楚。首先让我展示一下琐碎的文档所说的内容：
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/817-1592/gcgnc/index.html
那就是说将非全局区域从一个地方移动到同一服务器上的另一个地方的命令只是
zoneadm -z zonename move /some/new/pathname
这看起来非常琐碎......但是，如果非全局区域中有任何内容，其中目录在文件名中具有特殊（并非完全平凡的 ascii ）字符，那么该过程就会失败。请允许我演示：
第一步：关闭区域。确保它因此停止：

太好了 .. 现在是 zoneadm 移动：
# zoneadm -z z_001 move /zones/z_001
Moving across file-systems; copying zonepath /zone/z_001...zoneadm: zone 'z_001': 'copy' failed with exit code 5.
The copy failed.

失败的？让我们看看为什么：

失败，因为 cpio（ zoneadm move 使用的东西）无法处理特殊字符。如果下载 GNU automake 源 tarball 并进行配置，然后使用 make 检查进行 make，您将在 testsuite 区域内看到成堆的特殊字符。这将导致 Solaris 上的 cpio 崩溃。
所以我希望有一些 Solaris 大师可以为我确认两件事：
1) the only zone config file I need to edit is in /etc/zones
2) I can edit that one file myself and do the move of the zone
filesystem myself also.
我对么 ？
编辑----这是cpio无法正确处理的目录和字符：

来自 OP 的注释：太糟糕了 OpenSolaris 项目被 Oracle 终止了，因为我们很容易看到 zoneadm 如何调用使用 cpio 并将其更改为使用远未完成任务的东西。我通过自己进行移动解决了这个问题，并使用了 Jörg Schilling 的“star”或 POSIX Standard TAR 来进行 zonemove。
Solution :
1 - Manually do the copy with a better tool from the source to dest.
1.1 - get sources for star from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/
1.2 - extract them
1.3 - cd into the extracted star sources and run /usr/xpg4/bin/make
1.4 - once that ends just run /usr/xpg4/bin/make install
you now have star and it can handle anything that lives on a filesystem
1.5 - do a copy from source to dest path with star
/opt/schily/bin/star -copy -p -acl -sparse -dump -C source . dest
2 - cd to /etc/zones and edit the zonefile xml to use the new zonepath
3 - edit the "index" file in /etc/zones to use the new zonepath
Special Detail to note :
1 - if you edit the zone XML file but do not edit the zonepath in the
index file you will get a warning message when you try to boot the zone :
# zoneadm -z z_001 boot
The XML repository has zonepath '/z/001',
but the index file has zonepath '/zone/z_001'.
These must match, so fix the incorrect entry.
替代方案：通过 ZFS 进行复制，然后更改区域路径。
使用您的参数：
我们有以下程序：
zfs snapshot zone/z_001@premovezfs send zone/z_001@premove | zfs recv zones/z_001zoneadm -z z_001 detachzonecfg -z z_001 set zonepath=/zones/z_001zoneadm -z z_001 attach步骤 4-6 为您更改 /etc/zones/index。
您不必先关闭该区域；您可以拍摄并发送快照，然后将其关闭，然后拍摄并发送第二个快照，该快照将是增量的且更小且更快：zfs send -i zone/z_001@premove zone/z_001@snap2 | zfs recv zones/z_001
您最终也会在目标 zpool 上获得一个快照，您可以根据需要保留或删除该快照。
