We went from 5.1 to 6.0.  We shut down, took good backups, and then 
upgraded the only systems we had.  Log a call with Veritas before you 
start to let them know you're doing the upgrade, plan it well in 
advance, clearly do all of the pre-req stuff first, and leave yourself 
time to fight any EMM battles when you're done.  You should be okay...

We only had 2 media servers to upgrade - one Solaris and one Windows.
