This seems to be a solaris 8 patch. yes, you'll need a downtime to perform the patch. Is your disks mirrored? If yes, you will need to detach the mirror b4 patching. First do a full backup of your system. Talk abt restoration only if its necessary. what's your current kernel level? should be no issues btw..
