I would suggest that you make a FULL backup of your disk before you make any changes! With that backup you can always go back to where you are today! Usually, a Solaris upgrade just installs and works. If your upgrade is one of the rare case where something breaks, you need to be able to back out the upgrade. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

If you are unable to reinstall applications on a new system, create a flash archive of your existing one and use this to build a Solaris 8 container under the Solaris 10. The process is straightforward and well documented. I've migrated a couple of fragile legacy systems this way. -- Ian Collins

My solaris8 applications can just be installed through Jumpstart installation,as the following : ok>boot cdrom - install Can you please confirm if I can still make use of solaris containers for this purpose ? |
