We just finished upgrading to FP6, we didn't have any major upgrade =
related issues.=20
=20
1. Not sure about new features, we upgraded because we needed the Vault =
fixes in FP6.
2. Again, we upgraded cause there were issues with everything below FP6, =
if you don't use Vault and everything is working fine.....
3. My experiance has always been that NB is backwardly compatable
=20
4. Our upgrade went well and things have been running smoothly, course =
if you do decide to upgrade make sure you put this patch on your master =
server after installing FP6 (MAJOR gotcha):

I have an opportunity to perform a Solaris FP3 to FP6 server upgrade =

1) Is it worth going to FP6 considering everything is working on my FP3 =
installation=20
2) What benefits does FP6 give me=20
3) Are FP3 clients [Including Oracle RMAN addons] fully supported by FP6 =
- Obviously I cant upgrade all the clients at the same time as well!

4) Good / Bad experiences?=20

Thanks=20
