-If you have a mirror configuration then you can do it with alternate disk.
-Other option would be, Use another harddrive and Install SCO open Server and Mount the importatnt Filesystems from the "Current Harddrive that is having issue with". You can use cp to transfer data from old Filesystems. Once done you can disconnect old harddrive. (Configuration files, Users, etc needs to be coped/configured back from old hdd.)
-Other Option:
You can install it Using the SCO Open Server CD using upgrade option, that will fix the root portion, remaining Filesystems need to be fsckéd and mounted later. Any configuration files needs to be restored from backup.

asupgrade
asupgrade(1m) Application Server Utility asupgrade(1m)
NAME
asupgrade - migrates the configuration of a previously installed Sun Java System Application Server
SYNOPSIS
asupgrade [-c | --console] [-V --version] [-h | --help]-s | -source applicationserver7.x_installation -t --target application-
server8.x_installation [-d | --domain domain_name -n | --nsspwdfile NSS_password_filepath -j | --jkspwdfile JKS_password_filepath -p |
--capwdfile CA_password_filepath]
Use the asupgrade utility to migrate the server configration and its persisted state, J2EE services, and deployed J2EE applications. The
configuration of an installed Sun Java System Application Server 7 is migrated to the Sun Java System Application Server 8 Application
Server installation. If the domain contains information about a deployed application and the installed application components do not agree
with the configuration information, the configuration is migrated as is without any attempt to reconfigure the incorrect configurations.
asupgrade migrates the configuration and deployed applications of a previous version of the Application Server; however, the runtime bina-
ries of the server are not updated. Database migrations or conversions are beyond the scope of the asupgrade command.
Only those instances that do not use the Sun Java System Web Server specific features will be upgraded seamlessly. Configration files
related to HTTP path, CGI bin, SHTML, and NSAPI plugins will not be upgraded.
The upgrade process can also be initiated automatically at installation time using the Upgrade checkbox in the Application Server install-
er. After completion of the upgrade, use the Application Server 7 Uninstaller to remove the previous version of the Application Server.
Application archives (.ear) and component archives (.jar, .war, .rar) that are deployed in the Application Server 7 environment do not
require any modification to run on Application Server 8. However applications and components deployed in the source server are repackaged
into new J2EE archives in the target server's autodeploy directory and are deployed upon server startup. Applications that do not deploy
successfully, must use Migrationtool (asmigrate) on the application and then manually redeploy the application.
You must specify the source and target directories for the upgrade. If the upgrade includes certificates, you must also provide the pass-
words for the source PKCS12 file and the target JKS keyfile for each domain that contains certificates to be migrated. Since Application
Server 7 uses a different certificate store format (NSS) than Application Server 8 (JSSE), the migration keys and certificates are con-
verted to the new format. Upon successful upgrade, an upgrate report is generated listing successfully migrated items along with a list of
the items that could not be migrated.
OPTIONS
-c --console launches the upgrade command line utility.
-V--version displays the version of the UpgradeTool.
-h--help displays the arguments for launching the UpgradeTool.
-s--source identifies the installation directory for Sun Java System Application Server 7.
-t--target identifies the installation directory for Sun Java System Application Server 8.
-d--domain identifies the destination domain name for the migrated certificates.
-n--nsspwdfile identifies the path to the NSS password file.
-j--jkspwdfile identifies the path to the JKS password file.
-p--capwdfile identifies the path to the CA certificate password file.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using asupgrade
