My 2p worth -
 
I work with a Vertias partner who has close contact with the internal staff.
The short answer is "Steer Clear" it is full of bugs. Stay with FP6 for the
foreseeable future.

VSP is automatically enabled when you upgrade/install 4.5 FP5 or higher, OTM
is not disabled and you have to "hack" the registry and disable it manually.

VSP has been enabled by default on every client I've upgraded from 3.4. I
don't know if OTM is disabled if it will leave VSP disabled, but since it's
a completely different animal than OTM, I would doubt it.

Wow, I'm glad i'm still on 5.0GA. 

The two problems i ran into are: 

1) VSP is enabled by default on 5.0. I never dealt with VSP on 4.5MP5.
Apparently VSP appeared on 4.5FP5. 

2) Windows clients were getting alot of 25 errors. had to "/usr/sbin/ndd
-set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 1000" on our solaris master. 

 Oh yea... The windows admin console tends to disappear/crash, which is odd
since xp doesn't notice and doesn't a crash report to microsoft. But this i
can live with.
