Create a Solaris flash archive (man flarcreate) before upgrading. That 
will give you an easy way to roll the whole system back should you need 
to. More info can be found on http://docs.sun.com

The flash archive might not be practical if you have a Large (100GB) 
catalog.

Make sure that you are on the latest Kernel patches. Some Solaris 10 sun4u 
kernels had large shared memory problems(118833-16). I have been using 
kernel patch 118833-24 for a week now, no real big problems.
