[SunHELP] SEVM to VXVM Upgrade

[Henry Buford III]

Although I work for Veritas, I don't work particularly for the vxfs team.
However, I have tried this at home and in a lab and found that
unencapsulating the root disk is the easiest way to do this.  The binaries
for solaris 2.5.1 are different from the binaries for solaris 8.  This means
that you can't just upgrade the OS, because when you try to install the new
OS, it won't be able to read the root disk because the necessary binaries
will not be in place and solaris can't read vxfs natively.  So, like I said,
I would unencapsulate the root disk before performing the upgrade.

gurus,

I have Solaris 2.51 running SEVM 2.6 and VXFS 3.2.6 with encapsulated root
disk.
Later on I wanted to upgrade Solaris 8.

I want to upgrade 

SEVM 2.6  	------> SEVM 2.6 
VXFS  3.2.6 	------>	VXFS  3.3.3

Any help.

Thanks
