Personally I have never done such an upgrade. When ever I go through a
major version change I rebuild the box from scratch.
It clears out so much stuff (security / bugs / patches / old rules / ...)
and give you confidence in the system.
Rebuild the rules also as newer version come with a different set of
'defaults' and your strategy for grouping objects is usually clearer after
running a FW for a time.
Lance has the best advice I have ever seen on this subject

Firewall-1 upgrade from 3.0 to 4.1 on Solaris 2.6
17-01-01 13:18
The installation guide with 4.1 makes it appear very easy to upgrade from
3.0 to 4.1. Is it that easy? Have there been any reported problems?
thanks
