I just today got word from ADSM Marketing that support for Solaris 2.5.1
client is being tied to the availability of V2 Sun server.  Announcement is
to be on 8 March with an availability of 28 March. This is still approx 6
weeks away, but at least we can begin to plan for it.

We have been installing the ADSM v2.1.5 client for Solaris 2.5 on our
Solaris 2.5.1 boxes and have had no problems so far. However, this is not
officially supported by IBM.
