It will not matter whether you have installed 5.1.2 when you migrate to V6. The
migration will work in any case, and you will not have to de-install the old
product as you did when going from V4 to V5 or V5 to V5.1. The installation
process has been greatly simplified in this regard. That much I can tell you.
There is no reason I can think of to delay a 5.1.2 migration just because you
are considering V6. Version 5.1.2, assuming you already have 5.1, can be
applied in less than an hour.
As for Ciscoworks 2000, I don't know what Cisco will say about supporting it,
but nothing we have done on our end will break them.

I don't think that V6 has been released yet to the public, and anyone in the
Managed Beta Program (my company is) is "sworn to secrecy" by a
non-disclosure agreement. I think that there is some public information
available about V6, but since I am in the Beta program, I'm not sure what's
public, and what's confidential.
Hopefully, some of the "tivoli.com" folks that monitor this list can comment
on V6, and answer your upgrade path question.

Hi,
Has anyone had experience, good or bad, with Netview V6? Would you
recommend installing 5.1.2 and waiting for the bugs to shake out on
V6?
Also do you know if CiscoWorks 2000 will work with V6?
Thanks,
Irene
