Using image2disk to upgrade 9.4.7 to 10.2

I need to upgrade a pair of 1600s running 9.4.7 in active/stand by mode and have a couple of questions. I chose 10.2 as the latest good release, am happy to use 10.1 if there is good reason to.   ...

If you don't need to keep a 9.x slot, then you should use volumes (hotfix and upgrade installations are much easier to perform on volumes than partitions). You can upgrade the single 9.x slot to 10.x using volume formatting. The disk will be reformatted in the upgrade process.

 

 

I think you'll need to install a second 10.x slot in order to upgrade or patch the first slot. The second installation can be done via the GUI's software management section. You can then boot to the second slot and install the hotfix on the first slot via the GUI.
