Is there a way to move directly from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 via a standard offline upgrade?

Hello,

There is a need to upgrade an existing Solaris 8 SPARC installation (as EOL) directly to Solaris 10 SPARC if possible.

Would prefer to undertake this operation, using the standard offline upgrade process, rather than using "Solaris Live".

Ideally would like step-by-step details.

Also I'm assuming that in order for this process to be successful then Solaris 8 will have to be patched to a given level. In the event that the recommended patch isn't installed, I would like some advice on how to obtain the necessary Solaris 8 patch - as I can't seem to see any Solaris 8 patches via "My Oracle Support".
