Renaming ORACLE_HOME on Solaris

When I installed Oracle 8.1.7 a few months ago on one of our servers, I went brain dead and named the home directory Oracle805 instead of Oracle817 (this was the first 8i install, I had Oracle805 directories scattered across several servers). For the sake of consistency, I would really like to rename this directory Oracle817, now that 8i has been installed on the other servers. Can I do this by changing /var/opt/oracle/oratab, updating the network files that reference the home directory, and then simply renaming the directory, or do I need to reinstall?

Thanks,
