I'm currently running NBU 5.0 MP7 On Solaris 9 on an E220R

End goal is to get to NBU 6.5.4 on Solaris 10 on a new T5220.

Network based clients, mix of Win200, Win2003, Solaris 8

My upgrade path is going to be as follows. Does anyone see any issues 
with this?

Build Sol10 on new box
Install NBU 5.0GA on new box
Install MP7 for 5.0 on new box (solaris 10 aware)
Backup catalogues on old box
Transfer and recover catalogues on new box.
Install new box and connect to existing tape library etc
--- Should now having running NBU 5.0 MP7 on new T5220 with Sol10 ---
Upgrade to NBU 6.5
Install 6.5.4 patch.  ( i assume 6.5.4 is not released as a full 
version. I can't see to find that info out ).

The questions i have is :-

1. From reading the release guide and all the cross references i see 
there are patches required for Solaris 8 for NBU6.5. I couldn't see any 
patches needed for Solaris 10. My question is are these patches only 
relevant for the server software? I.E I dont need to patch all my 
clients with the Sol8 OS patches in the NBU 6.5 release guide?

2. Is it possible to restore catalogues taken from NBU 5 onto a new 
system with NBU 6.5.4 ? I know the cats are different, but was just 
wondering if i could shorten my upgrade path by using NBU 5 catalogue 
tapes and restoring them onto a newly installed 6.5.4 version.

Cheers
