Thanks Simon, my window is 6 pm to 6 am so that's definitely something
I'm going to have to watch for.  Is the midnight issue still around in
6.5.2A?

Randy,

I agree with Rusty. Put a base 6.0 MP5 build on the new hardware,
recover the catalog, then run the upgrade process. I don't think there
are any changes in the catalog between 6.0 and 6.5 but you can never be
certain.

I upgraded our environment about 2 weeks ago from 6.0 MP5 to 6.5.2A and
it ran fairly smoothly. 1 Master, 7 Media, 370 clients, 3 robots, 26
drives of various types at 3 separate sites. Just watch out for queued
jobs failing at midnight if your windows span over to the next day.
Would also suggest you look at the Late Breaking News document for 6.5.2
on the Symantec support pages. You'll be fine.

Cheers,

Simon.
