But don't do that !

SVM is in fact the new name of SDS (Solstice DiskSuite), compiled to run on
Solaris 9.
On Solaris 8 please use SDS 4.2.1 which comes with your Solaris distribution
(CDROM "Software 2/2", directory "EA").

Trying to use SVM on Solaris 8 may conduct to unpredictive problems - I
tested it ...

SDS ans SVM have the same functionalities.
