Which release of Solaris 10 are you planning to install ?

As written in the LiveUpgrade manual, upgrading from Solaris 8 to
Solaris 10 5/08 isn't supported.

Forgot to mention this could be done in two steps :

- Solaris 8 -> Solaris 9 then Solaris 9 -> Solaris 10 5/08
- Solaris 8 -> Solaris 10 08/07 then Solaris 10 08/07 -> Solaris 10 05/08

Regards,

Fred.
