Any issue replacing Emulex LP9002L / LP8000 HBAs with LP10000 & using current lpfc

Our SunFire 6800 server is running Solaris 8 and Veritas 3.5mp3. The
server is connected to the Hitachi 9585 storage array.

Currently, We have 3 Emulex LP9002L HBAs and 1 Emulex LP8000 HBA.

One of the LP9002L HBA and one LP8000HBA are bad. We plan to replace
them with the 2 LP10000 HBAs. Is this going to be an issue ?

Can the LP9002L HBA use the current lpfc 5.01e driver ? We'd like to
keep the same driver for all HBAs. If not, what is the minimum
version of driver required for the LP10000 HBA and if this version can
be used for our existing LP9002L HBAs ?

Thanks,

Bill
