Thank you Tony. The reason is I have not done a normal upgrade myself from Solaris 8 to 10. I have experience with Live upgrade. That's why I need to ask before "touching" others' system.
Im NOT doing a Live upgrade. So my question to confirm was, whether I can do the upgrade install in a normal way rather than using a live upgrade method.
One more thing, I have done normal upgrade via CD install from Solaris 9 to 10. SO Im not sure if 8 to 10 will work. Kindly shed some light. I had no time to prepare and Im getting the downtime within the next 8 hours

Done it!! successful with my applications working fine after the standard upgrade without going through the hassles of patching the system for live upgrade method. Normal upgrade is perfectly working just fine
