I did this before from solaris 8 to solaris 10 with 5.1MP4 I believe back 
in the day, I did not have a VCS cluster running though.

I took a catalog backup (to tape).

I wiped the box clean.

I installed solaris 10 (onto new drives) incase I had any problems.

I ran bprecover.

I set my scratch pool as a scratch pool (its a bug in 5.1) it gets 
unchecked during a bprecover.

I was backup and running after I fixed the various changes with some fiber 
cards in solaris 10.
