I'm upgrading the OS on my clients from Sol 2.6 to Sol 8.  Netbackup records
that these are 2.6 clients (bpclclients -allunique).

To upgrade the clients in NB from 2.6 to 8, I made a new clientname as a
"holding name" by copying from the original, then deleted the original.
Next I copied the holding name back to the original name.  Finally I deleted
the holding name.  Simple?

[email protected] -> holding name
delete Client 2.6
holding name -> Clientname@8
delete holding name

Surely there's a better way than this?
