I opened a ticket on another subject and while I had the support rep he
mentioned two 6.0 issues that applied to my environment
        - They've seen issues with HP-UX masters at 11.11 or above where
the activity monitor is blank.
        - If not all the SAN media servers are upgraded at the same time
as the master, some of the media servers may not be able to use SSO tape
drives.  A big issue for us as that's all we have.

According to him they don't know the cause of either problem yet, and
thus I would doubt any fixes would be in MP1 (if this info is accurate).
Of course this is all hearsay, but makes me lean towards waiting until
MP2, though I think 6.0 will be much better than 5.x primarily because
of the consolidated schema.

What was mentioned during your discussions with Symantec that's making
you wait until MP2?  I've been waiting for MP1, and am curious as to
what you heard that's making you wait.

I think that MP1 is due out this week.  However, in our discussions with
Symantec, MP2 looks like it might be the upgrade point for us.

I talked to a product manager who said that a lot of customers have
upgraded and are having no problems.  However, a lot of other customers
are having lots of problems.  You feeling lucky?
