I upgraded from 4.5MP6 to 5.0 and encountered _almost_ no issues at
all-- I was impressed.  However, my environment is not overly
complicated.  Just a single W2K Master with 4 Linux and 2 Windows SAN
Media Servers.  Beyond that- I have a few Linux and Windows clients.
All this runs over Fibre Channel to a Dell PV136T with 4 LTO drives in
it.

The one thing I will warn against is that NBU 5.0 seems to be much more
picky about hostname issues.  I had a few Linux clients that didn't have
a reverse lookup in DNS and they would crap out with strange errors in
the logs, etc.  (See my post in this group on 2/25/04).  Just make sure
all your clients and servers are resolvable with hostname, fqdn, and by
IP-- and you should be fine.  I had absolutely no issues with catalogs,
policies, or libraries-- the upgrade process went very smoothly.  The
upgrade does require a reboot (on Windows), which is a little annoying.

Justin,

Did you encounter any issues with the upgrade.

Did the policys/jobs/libraries/catalogs etc... all move over without
issue?

New keys are not required for anything I had when upgrading from 4.5 ->
5.0.

SSO, Exchange, Linux Clients, Library Storage, NBU Base, Win/Linux SAN
Media Servers.

All worked with no problems.

I've heard that 5.0 requires new license keys but the documentation
(Unix Installation Guide) claims that no new keys are required.  Has
anyone done an upgrade from 4.5 and 5.0 and can confirm if new keys are
required or not?

Thanks,
        .../Ed
