OS update

Folks -

I've got two 880 servers that I'd like to get at the same patch level.
However one had the OS (Solaris 9) installed last fall with the 9/02
release and the other was installed recently with the 12/02 release,
so there are significant patch differences due to the update version.

Rather than digging out all of the different patches, I'd like to
consider doing just an OS update on the 9/02 release system just to
get the patches. Doing a full re-install would really be painful.

Is that safe to do at all? Would I be making things worse for myself
in the long run? Or is there some easier way to get that 9/02 release
system to the same patch level as the 12/02 release?

Any information about this would be appreciated,
Debbie
