SUMMARY: Solaris10 poor man's zone cloning

From: George Kahler <george_at_yorku.ca>

Got responses from: Crist Clark, Jan Dreyer, Hassan.Ahmed and Markus
Mayer; thanks !
General consensus is that it should be OK as long as the two global
zones are identical wrt patches & installed software.

In my case it is, both global zones are SF T1000 at the same patch
level and the same software installed.

Markus Mayer has even kindly offered a Sun document describing the
process of moving containers at this url:

Thanks again,
George
