I'm upgrading an A/S 4100 from 4.0G to 5.1A. According to HP I need to go
through 5.1. I'm considering using an offline system to build the disks
(root_domain / usr_domain) ahead of time, and then boot from them instead of
the existing disks. These two domains are on ordinary HSZ70 devices. The
user/application data is on domains that reside on LSM volumes - some of the
domains have more than one AdvFS volumes.

I've checked the archives and gotten some mixed reviews on whether this is a
wise course of action. Are there any other recommendations or fresh
experiences?

Thanks as always.
