Hi Bart
Im guessing not, because in my test lab, you need to run a command to
CONVERT the DB over.

I am certainly not aware of a method, part of the reason why my
fail-safe plan includes lots of catalog backups and snapshots of the
system drives :)

        > It would be much nicer to build the Sol 10 env with a fresh

We are plannig to go to 6.5.1 the third quarter of this year.

What we planned however is to place a brand new HP cluster next to the
existing Master Server and install 6.5.1 on this new cluster.  But then
we are stuck with the conversion of the catalog.

Isn't there a way (Symantec tool for example) to convert the catalog to
the new db format and import it ton the new nbu server so not going
through the normal upgrade ?
