- Don't update the queueing system during the upgrade; if you try to
- do so, that portion will fail. After the upgrade you'll be running A5.5
- instead of V5.5 and there is a command procedure documented in the
- installation guide which will complete the upgrade from A5.5 to V5.5.
- You could also keep the old queue system and update to A5.5-1.
-
- After the upgrade, be sure to check and possibly reset your system
- clock. Chances are pretty high that it'll be off by a year. If you do
- reset it by that large amount, you should probably reboot immediately...
