Hi,

Depending on the amount of work to do (OS upgrades and other stuff) I decide if
I want to do a fresh re-install and migrate all data (users, tokens, scripts)
or migrate with a simple update.

I don't quite understan what this would habe to do with DHCP? Don't you have
two active DHCP servers?
You'll need to upgrade the secondary sun ray server first, then the primary.
Also, if you want to be nice to your users, you disable new connections to the
secondary server ahead of time so you don't kick users from the system.

You can use utfwload after utfwadm to force download of firmware to all
clients. The only downside to that is that the update is not as "pretty" as the
one during power cycle because there will be funky colors on the screen and
everything else appears "stuck" which sometimes confuses users.
