Am I right in thinking 6.0 or higher does no longer support NT 4 ?

We still have a fairly busy 4.5 environment due to older OS versions so I
can't see us moving off our 5.1 environment for a while ... this for us is
the "show-stopper" for not upgrading.

I don't believe that customers are being placed between a rock and a hard
place - 6.0 MP4 is a stable release that works today.  I have not heard of
any show-stopper bugs in 6.0 that would prevent anybody from upgrading.  You
may need an engineering fix or two, and perhaps MP5 will include those, but
in general, the current release works for just about everybody.

If you really feel that 5.1MP4 is rock solid, and there are no issues, why
are you concerned with Symantec continuing to support it?  You don't *have*
to upgrade - just don't log a call and expect it to get fixed.  If you have
no issues, you'll have no calls to log and it won't matter if it's supported
or not.  I've got a non-Symantec product running that we last logged a call
on in 2000 (and our license agreement says that we have to keep it under
support as long as we're running it).

I also believe 5.1 MP4+ is the most rock solid product I've run (less DSSU
issues) and would prefer to stay on that version and not be forced between
choosing either 6.0 MP4+ or 6.5 GA

I would suggest for those in the group who are also wanting to wait for 6.5
MP1+ to contact their Veritas/Symantec SE/Account Mgr's and let them know as
a customer you're being placed between a rock and a hard place in terms of
migration choices.

 

In talking with my former RTAM and current local Symantec SE, I'm starting
to hear they maybe considering the Oct 2007 date as a "soft" and not a hard
date.

 

Now maybe the time to put our voices behind this and tell them Oct 2007 end
of support for 5.1 is unacceptable.
