I only received 1 response about IPMP from Mike Kiernan <mkiernan@onet.pl>
who said:

"Fraid you'll have to upgrade, although if you have a service channel with
sun and a convincing sounding business case as to why you can't upgrade
they may consider a backport..."

So, I guess I will need to upgrade by boxes in order to get this new
feature of Solaris 8 to work.

I have contacted Sun about this but havent heard back from them yet. If I
do, I will re-summarize.

Thanks.
