Backing Up Your Server

Always back up an existing server before you upgrade any software. The safest backup to perform is a level 0 dump (ufsdump(1M)) of the file systems connected to the server being upgraded. If you do not have an established backup procedure, see the System Administration Guide.

You do not need to back out installed patches before you perform the upgrade.

Checking Other Software Documentation

Check the documentation of other software you are running, such as any disk volume managers, before you use the upgrade option in the suninstall utility. There may be additional instructions you need to follow to preserve existing configurations. Also, be sure to check the release notes for AP and any volume managers you are using.
