Upgrading Solaris on an e10k domain.. (OBP version)..

Hello list,

I have a domain on an e10k that will get upgraded from solaris 2.6 to
solaris 8. The ssp version is 3.4. Am I right that I only need the
following:

- save whatever needs saving.
- shutdown 2.6 domain.
- upgrade the OS for the domain on the main SSP (more on this later).
- bringup the domain.
- install a new copy of the Solaris 8 OE on the domain D1000 disks.

>From whatever info I have gathered, I should only need to do this on the
SSP:
- "domain_remove -d <domain>" (answer "y" when it prompts you to keep the
directories).
- "domain_create -d <domain> -o 5.8"

I have just tested this under SSP 3.2, it appears that you don't need to
specify the SB list because you are just re-creating the domain with a new
OS level (this will result in a different OBP assembly when you "bringup"
the domain, I guess). I wonder if this is still the case under SSP 3.4.

Am I forgetting something on the SSP? All comments are welcome and I will
summarize..
