Hi this is vishnu priya (vishpri).

U have talked about options in ur Question? where r the options?
Any way, there is a command called alt_disk_install (alternate disk installation) which allows for system installation while the system up and running. To switch over to new version, u need to reboot the system.
If u face any problems, U can rollback to previous version by changing the bootlist to point of the original bootdisk.

If u have any doubt regarding my answer, send me a message.

bye.
