upgrade from 2.6 to 2.8

2007-12-24 22:05:00

Hi all,

I am planning to upgrade E450 from Solaris 2.6 to 2.8 as i am having
some difficulties to configure this box in SAN . This box is production
netbackup server and running veritas volume manager and file system . OS
is not mirrored . I have done lots of AIX upgrades and cloning (restoring
from one system to another ) ,don't have any experience with Solaris upgrade
.
I've had quite a few of saying that the upgrade from 2.6 to 2.8
isn't all that reliable. and Highly recommend initial install instead of
upgrade, as it's quicker and more "sure" than upgrade.

I would like to find out from you about your upgrade experience and any
suggestions if you have .

Thanks
