We haven’t gone to 6.5 but our
upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0 MP4 was no where near as traumatic as you describe.
Maybe it works better 5.1 à 6.0 à6.5?

ok, so we found an interesting issue now with our upgrades. Right
now our master/media server is experiencing issues with hot catalog backups (to
tape). Here are some interesting, fun facts:
1. our master server is an aix box with multiple interfaces
2. its an upgrade from 5.1mp5 to 6.5.1
3. everything BUT catalog works just peachy
4. Error codes in include 252 (800), and 134.
I have not seen that, but our upgrade is nothing short of a nightmare.
We ran the NBCC tool again, and there was one error that we sent to support and
they had us run a command to fix it. So we started the
upgrade...*everything* took like an hour; after clicking "setup", the
status bar didnt move and just about the time we were going to give up it
finished.
Then the dreaded "nbpushdata" command produced an error. Sent
that into support, after about 5 hours of back and forth running various
commands nothing is working. NBU wont start, it generates all sorts of
errors. Support finally said we should roll back to 5, but didn't tell us
how. They said instead we could just patch it to 6.5.1. Well that
had the predictable result of just hanging for an hour, then finally spitting
back an error along the lines of "Setup was interupted before it could
finish"
What a comedy of errors this is...I don't even know where to begin,
support had us run so many things that are not listed in their 20 page
"Upgrade Doc" that I would not feel comfortable ever doing this
again.
In fact the next time I hear the word upgrade I am going to suggest getting new
equipment, since NBU is obviously not stable enough to withstand an in place
upgrade.
