recreating concatenation metadevice in Solaris 9 after Solaris 7

Hi,

Just to satisfy my paranoid curiosity - I'm installing Solaris 9 on an
older Solaris 7 operating system box tomorrow (NOT and upgrade but an
install), and need confirmation of my steps to recreate a concatenation
metadevice, Let's concentrate on just one as an example:

Concatenation metadevice d40 is made up of two slices S1 and S2 on
volume A and B

1. On Solaris 7 system before final shutdown (and after a full system
backup),

       umount d40

2. Remove metadevice

       metaclear d40

2. Remove database state replicas

3. Install Solaris 9 ....

4. Create new database replicas using volume manager

        metadb -a <replica1> <replica2> ........

5. Re-create the concatenation

        metainit d40 2 1 <S1> 1 <S2>

Assuming I dont touch the original slices after removing the original
metadevice, is this all that is required? I'm sure it is but just need
confirmation. Am I missing any steps?

Many thanks

Scotty
