Volume Manager Upgrade Problems

I'm upgrading from Volume Manager 3.0.4 to 3.5 and from Solaris
8 to 9.

I followed the procedures in the VM 3.5 install guide and did the
upgrade_start script. It changed my encapsulated root disk back
to the normal /dev/dsk file system and that went ok. I then removed
my old volume manager packages and then I upgraded
to Solaris 9 and that went fine. I then added the VM 3.5 packages
and I then ran the upgrade_finish script.

When I reboot my system I get several messages

NOTICE: vxvm: upgrade was not complete
NOTICE: vxvm: upgrade is not complete
VXVM provider configuration daemon is not accessable.

I was expecting the upgrade_finish script to convert my root
disk back to encapsulation but it didn't do this. Is this normal?

I also expected my VM volumes on my external disk pack to function
but I can't mount them. The upgrade_start script commented these
out in my /etc/vfstab file but the upgrade_finish script did not
uncomment them out.

I also notice that vxconfid does not start on bootup I have to type vxconfigd
to start it.

I can start vea ok but no volumes are listed.

Are there extra steps I need to complete after the upgrade_finish script?

Thanks.
