Thanks for the very fast responses from

Concensus was that:
a) either a fresh install or an upgrade were equally effective,
depending on the amount of system downtime you can afford.
b) Rebuilding the metadevices you may have was really the most
time-consuming part of going to Solaris 9. Christian did point out that
the default metadevice database size defaults were different on Sol 9.
which may be problematic
Apart from that, there are no real gotchas - just make sure you BACKUP
everything and keep paper records of metadevice configuration.
Thanks again
Scotty

Title pretty much says it all. We will be going from Solaris 7 to
Solaris 9 - is it safer doing an complete re-install or is the upgrade
relatively simple?
Other issues: we have a lot of SDS metadevices both in local disk plus
on a pair of external D1000 storage arrays. Is it fairly straightforward
to go from Disksuite to DiskManager ??
Any other gotchas to worry about?
Thanks!
Scotty
