However, if you're remote and the network management port hasn't been already set up, you've got a problem. (You can't do a O/S upgrade in multi-user mode.)

Notice that you seem to have Oracle on here. Oracle dB should be stopped before a ufsdump is taken (but you probably know that already).

You've got a volume manager running here too. However, in terms of backup I would say you should ufsdump d0,d2,d3,d4,d5 and d6.
