Mj Lopatin announced this a month ago.  An extract from his detailed
announcement follows.  The README files do not mention 2.5.1.  I installed
IP20999 on a test 2.5.1 box, but haven't had time to put it in production.

|
|REFRESHES SINCE THE CLIENT PTF 6 MEDIA SHIPPED:
|
|1) SOLARIS 2.5.1 NOW SUPPORTED FOR B/A, SAGUI, API CLIENTS
|
|The most important one is a new Solaris 2.5 image (IP20999) that supports
|and installs the Backup/Archive, SAGUI, and API clients on Solaris 2.5.1.
|This client will come out on media at the end of March/beginning of April
|as PTF IP21104.  Please note the HSM client is still not supported on
|Solaris 2.5.1 at this time, though it is a known requirement for the
|future.  Only the README, SAGUI code, and installation script changed
|in this new image.
|
|Please also note again that if you backed up files on Solaris 2.5 or
|Solaris 2.5.1 with PTF 5, you will get an initial full backup on
|the first incremental with PTF 6, due to the APAR fix for IC15350.
