If you are replacing the disk drives, power off the system and label, and remove the existing
disks, using proper anti-static procedures. Install the new disk drives in the same slots the
original disk drives were located. Finally, power up the system. For more information, see the
Sun System Manual for your platform.
Do not format or modify the second disk drive. Unless you replaced the disk drives in
the second disk contains the original Solaris 8 system if you are using Veritas Volume
Manager. The second disk is used as a fallback in case of a failure in the Solaris 10 upgrade.
