Went to 7.0 from 6.1.3.  Piece of cake, no problems at all in upgrade.  
Considering moving to 7.1 now that it's GA.  FYI:  7.1 requires new enabler 
code for at least enterprise licensing.....maybe for ALL enablers.  Old code 
will work for 45 days but then.....dead app.
I would strongly suggest Solaris 8 upgrades as well, best prior to the legato 
upgrade.  Solaris 8 itself fixes some of the legato problems....or at least it 
fixed some of ours.  And that was prior to the 7.0 upgrade.  And v8 is just 
much more optimized for use....it can really make a difference.

7.1 was released this week.

I'm looking on the archives and not seeing much activity related to
upgrading from 6x to 7x.  I'm on Networker 6.1.3/Solaris 7 at my site and
Networker 6.1.3/Windows 2000 servers at my remote sites.  We are considering
the disk extender product and are beginning to see 2003 servers in the mix
so I'm motivated to upgrade to 7.1.

There are not many conversations about problems other than the 9740
AutoChanger rollback so I'd like to hear from those who have moved about
your experiences?

It looks like the architecture has changed a bit with res files but nothing
in the documentation indicates anything too invasive as with indexes in 5x
to 6x.

Anybody on the list been through this yet?
TIA
David Day
