Note If the upgrade_start script fails for any reason, run the upgrade_finish script to undo any changes already made. Verify that the system is restored by comparing /etc/system, /etc/vfstab, and the output of the format command. Then determine and correct the cause of the upgrade_start failure. If you cannot correct the problem in a timely manner, restore the vfstab file to the version saved in Preparing for the upgrade, restore any other applications, and perform an init 6 to completely restore the system

Note You cannot use the upgrade_start upgrade_finish scripts to upgrade from VxVM 3.5 MP4.
