Solaris upgrade/migration procedures

Guys,

I am more into IBM/HP unix stuff and my org wants me to do some kungfu on SUN Smilie , I have fair understanding of solaris only and I need ur help .
I have to migrate all of my existing solaris boxes to their latest levels ( soalris 10) , having this daunting task I need your suggestions on what could be the best way to accomplish, I have systems with the following configurations Solaris 6 , Solaris 8 and Solaris 9. We dont have vendor support as of now. My queries :

- Can we upgrade Solaris6/8 to Solaris 10
- I am aware of the fact that Solaris 9 can be migrated to Solaris 10 using live upgrade but can we do that for the rest or do we have any alternate options
- Is there any other way apart from live upgrade to do the migrration

- Is migration to Solaris 11 is a good option , if thats the case how can we do it?
