There is a very high chance that once you upgrade to the latest RPC that your system will crash.  The only way to remedy this is to upgrade the CSA *and* CMA packages, and that isn&#8217;t 100%.   This knowledge came about from installing some RPC&#8217;s on a few pieces of SPARC hardware and a core dump sent to Sun for analysis.  The analysis came back showing that CSA was holding onto hundreds of threads, causing load averages to spike in a way I&#8217;ve never thought possible and locking up the machine.
