Reason for the lock failure:
Because of the sudden ungraceful shutdown of the database, file locks on data files were not released by the NFS server (ZFS SA in this case). NFS server held on to the file locks even after the NFS client (DB server node in this example) was restarted. Due to this, Oracle RDBMS is not able to lock those data files residing on NFS server (ZFS SA). As a result, database instance was failed to start up in exclusive mode.

Before a physical system can be migrated, any existing non-global zones on the system must be archived and moved into zones on the new target system first.
How to Migrate an Existing native Non-Global Zone
Use the V2V process to migrate an existing zone on your Solaris 10 system to a solaris10 brand zone on a system running the Oracle Solaris 11 release.
Print the existing zone's configuration. You will need this information to recreate the zone on the destination system:
