Hey, it looks like the 6.5 version has a new SAN client and some other
disk related options. We'll have to look into that. We should install
6.0 to make sure we get everything implemented correctly, then go to

Is there anyway to download V5.1 MP5 for the Oracle agent? When I
select it, it says it's been updated and leads to the MP6 download. I'm
still at MP5 for everything else and don't have time to upgrade right
now.

I get these all the time. However,
when I first put in SSO, I had an unusually high # of them, like more than 50

to get these down to a more reasonable # and I think it was adding

I get these a lot. One thing I found
that caused it was, our Linux media server was set to only use 4 drives
