Upgrade R702FP2 V5R4 to R601 sequence

[Gary.Wade@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Have not seen a "Best Practices" for R8 but the R6 and R7 manuals 
suggested upgrading the Administrator then "Domino Directory and Admin4" 
followed by the Admin server then remaining servers. I used that strategy 
for my earlier upgrades.  I was planning to use that same methodology to 
upgrade our environment to R801 over several weeks to coordinate with our 
scheduled backups. 

Checked with IBM support yesterday and they suggested not upgrading 
"Domino Directory and Admin4" separately and not run R801 "Domino 
Directory and Admin4" on my R702 servers. Not sure best way to prevent the 
upgrade of "Domino Directory and Admin4" on the waiting servers to 
upgrade.  Any comments on why the previous "Best Practices" may not be 
correct for R801?
