When I did my upgrade, I was changing servers also, so I found a standalone DLT 
tape drive
to be extremely handy.  A ufsdump of /usr/openv allowed me to transport the 
data and keep a
copy on tape in the event of disaster.  I built the new system, tuned the 
kernel, made sure
Solaris could see the hardware, and then restored /usr/openv to it's new home.  
I ran the
installer and answered yes for an upgrade.  One thing I did lose was the 
activity logs from
the previous few days backup.  This wasn't a big problem for me.  All my 
schedules and
images were imported just fine.  I manually ran the database conversion to 
binary on my old
catalogs.  On the new hardware (dual 900 sparc) it took about an hour.

The installer saw /usr/openv and knew to ask me about an upgrade.  I tested the 
upgrade with
a reboot, and all was fine.  I did have to go into each job class and change my 
storage
unit, since I was also changing libraries.  After some debugging (finding my 
mistakes) we
were ready to go.  It took my about 2 hours to do the upgrade after I put the 
files back on
the new server.  When I got it all up and running, I used the new LTO drives to 
do another
ufsdump of my finished work.  Just in case.
