I just read the Unixware 714 getting started guide.
An upgrade install is possible. But, it installs using pkgadd. You must be able to boot the 711 system in order to do the upgrade. This procedure is different to the Openserver 5 upgrade installation procedure, where you boot from the newer version CD and select the upgrade install.
For the fresh install (of 714), there does not appear to be an option to preserve non root file systems that are on disk 0. So if your RAID5 system is configured as a single logical drive with multiple partitions, you do not have secondary drives.
The RAID controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, although not mixed. I have not checked to see if a standard 2.5in SATA drive will fit in the carrier, or whether you have to purchase an HP drive.

ovdb_init
OVDB_INIT(8) InterNetNews Documentation OVDB_INIT(8)
NAME
ovdb_init - Prepare ovdb database for use
SYNOPSYS
ovdb_init ["-u"|"-r"]
DESCRIPTION
This command must be run before any other process can access the overview database. It performs the following steps:
1. Creates the database environment, if necessary
2. If the database is idle (and if the "-u" option is not specified), it performs a normal recovery. The recovery will remove stale
locks, recreate the memory pool cache, and repair any damage caused by a system crash or improper shutdown.
3. If the "-u" option is specified, it performs any necessary upgrades to the database. See the UPGRADING section below.
4. Starts the DB housekeeping processes (ovdb_monitor) if they're not already running. (Unless the "-r" option is specified).
5. Starts the ovdb readserver (ovdb_server) processes if readserver in ovdb.conf is true, and if they are not already running. (Unless
the "-r" option is specified).
Returns exit status of 0 if all steps were completed successfully. In the event of an error, messages are written to syslog and/or stderr.
If a recovery was attempted but it failed, the database may be damaged beyond repair, requiring a rebuild with makehistory(8).
This command is normally invoked automatically by rc.news(8).
It is OK to run this command multiple times.
OPTIONS
"-r"
Perform recovery only. "ovdb_monitor" is not started.
"-u"
Perform any needed upgrades. Recovery is not attempted. "ovdb_monitor" is started if the upgrade succeeded.
UPGRADING
There are two situations in which the database will need to be upgraded:
o You upgrade the Berkeley DB library to a newer version, for example from 2.7.7 to 3.1.17. In this case, the Berkeley DB db->upgrade()
method is used.
o You upgrade ovdb to a newer major version; i.e., ovdb-1.0 to ovdb-2.0.
In both of these cases, the database is upgraded in-place; and the upgrade can not be undone. Do not interrupt the upgrade process once it
has started, because there is a risk of irrepairable corruption. The upgrade may take several minutes to complete. If an upgrade does get
interrupted, try running the upgrade again.
Here's an example procedure to upgrade a database created with Berkeley DB 2.7.7 to use Berkeley DB 3.1.17:
1. Build and install the Berkeley DB 3.1.17;
2. Run configure in the INN source tree and make sure it picks up the right Berkeley DB directory (e.g., /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1);
3. Do a "make";
4. Shut down INN (e.g., with "rc.news stop") and be sure to kill all instances of nnrpd as well;
5. Do a "make update" to install the new binaries;
6. Run "ovdb_init -u" as the news user;
7. Start INN with "rc.news".
It is OK to specify "-u" even if no upgrades are needed.
