Unfortunately the new server runs Solaris 10 x86 (AMD) which is only
supported as a server from 7.3.2 so that means I will have to upgrade
the old server first. That's a pity, I was hoping to keep it in its
current state so I can quickly fall back in case the upgrade fails (as I
did now).

Thanks Dave, Patti
