We're on Solaris v5.1 MP5.  Will we need to upgrade to 6.0 before going to 6.5? 
 Anyone know?

6.0 Was a MAJOR rewrite of code that was long overdue.  I think issues were
to be expected.  6.5 is a regular enhancement release so I don't expect you
will see the same challenges as going to 6.0.  I think part of the delay in
releasing the code was to make sure it was as stable as it could possibly be
going out the door. If you are moving from 5.X to 6.5, there is still all
the same pre-work that needs to be done to make sure the upgrade is
successful however.

Hopefully 6.5 won't be a nightmare like 6.0?  (until 6.0MP4 anyway)

There have been lots of articles covering the announcement but 6.5 is not
yet shipping.   You won't get any thoughts on how well it works until this
fall (rumors have it that 6.5 will ship in August).



There are certainly some nice features in 6.5.  One of the articles I read
says that the BMR functionality is now included for free in 6.5 - it was
separately licensed in 6.0.  The integration with VMware 3.0 is really

cool

stuff.
