I suspect they would be quite disappointed (to put it mildly) if there
is no way to do something similar (at least an installer that can run
in an older version to lay down the bits in unused space).
The following worked for me to migrate development build servers (and
a couple laptops and desktops) from nevada to opensolaris:
1) migrate from UFS root to ZFS root via live upgrade.
2) use "zfs send" & "zfs receive" to bring in a root filesystem
cloned from an appropriate opensolaris install, containing a roughly
comparable opensolaris build.
I guess that's with an older or same ZFS version not newer in order to
be able to zfs send the filesystem. It could work for recent Solaris 10
updates as well, assuming there's another update with a zfs upgrade.
3) migrate configuration from the nevada root to the opensolaris root.
4) adjust boot configuration (grub menu and/or bootfs property) to
boot the opensolaris root.
Thanks for the ideas, I give it a go with my last SXCE server - after
grabbing some live CDs with the correct builds.
