Backup & Restore DiskSuite Data

[microsky]

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our OS from Solaris2.6 to Solaris9. The file system on solaris2.6 was built base on Disksuite 4.1. I don't want to rebuild these file systems on Solaris9, does it possible only backup disksuite's data on Solaris2.6 and restore it to Solaris9 to find back those data on original file system?
Thanks!

save a "metastat -p" output
rebuild mirrors step by step (init one submirror, create mirror, attach second submiroor)
if you have RAID5s you will need the metainit -k Option...

This usually works fine, but: Always have a good backup! ;-)

Best Regards, Franz
