Be sure you follow the documentation, even though it's scattered through several different docs. Most of the other stuff has been mentioned already, but you also need to pay attention to supported patch levels and hardware. If PBX is already installed, you need to make sure that's at the proper version.
Though it's been said, make sure your catalog is squeaky clean by opening a case with Symantec and running the NBCC tool until they say it's ok. And build in time to complete a cold catalog backup when you're done. Verify proper forward and reverse lookup operates properly. PBX is quite dependent on proper reverse lookups. If you have multiple interfaces, this becomes more of a challenge. If you have a third party reporting product (Aptare, etc.) you'll need to make some changes, contact the vendor. Any scripts you have may need to be edited due to changes in command syntax and/or output. Good luck, it's not a big deal as long as you prepared up front.
