Transferring units to a zone
You can transfer managed appliances, blade chassis, hypervisor managers or hypervisor servers to
zones for which you have access rights. All associated target devices are transferred with the unit,
and any merged target device connections are split. You cannot independently move a target
device.
NOTE: If you are transferring units that require licenses, such as a VMware ESX Server, the zone to which you
are moving the units must be assigned the appropriate licenses (see Assigning zone licenses on page 222). If
the zone does not have sufficient licenses, the transfer fails.
