Upgrade from 5.1 MP6 to 6.5.4 - NBPUSH Question

[gstonian]

Hi,

I've read a number of manuals, asked other forums but still unclear on the best approach to upgrading from 5.1 MP6 to 6.5.4 and would realy appreciate some advice.

We have 1 Master/Media Server and 3 Media Servers (all 5.1 MP6) we will be upgrading to 6.5.4 for everything with the exception of 1 media Server

i.e

John - 1 Master/Media Server/Glob Host (To be upgraded)
Mary - 1 Media Server (To be Upgraded)
James - 1 Media Server (To be Upgraded)
Todd - 1 Media Server (Remaining on 5.1 MP7)

After I have disabled the policies , cancelled all jobs, performed all backups etc

Should I

a) Upgrade John to 6.5.4, run nbpushdata -add on John then upgrade Mary & James to 6.5.4 and then run nbpushdata on them and finally run nbpushdata -modify.5x etc on John for Todd

or should I

b) Upgrade John, Mary & James to 6.5.4 all at the same time then run nbpushdata on John, then Mary then James and finally nbpushdata -modify.5x etc on John for Todd

Just wanted to make sure I was doing it in the right sequence after all the cations i read in the manuals

Thanks very much in advance!

option "a" should suffice!
