I need to upgrade an h80
from 32 bit to 64 bit due
to an application requirement.

Does anyone know of any 'gotchas'
in this environment ?

I don't know of any probs with 5.1 64 bit but I'm running 5.3 64 bit on
some 7026-6H1 which is the same hardware as 7026-H80 with different
label. And, if you're upgrading once, you should consider to use this
opportunity to go to 5.2 or 5.3 'cause 5.1 will be out of maintenance
soon

That's correct (re: H80 vs 6H1).

I have 4 6H1s, they all ran 5.1 64-bit for a short time, and 5.2 64-bit
for a long time.

No problems with any of these.

Nothing special to switch to a 64 bit kernel. Just make sure bos.mp64 is
installed and that symlinks are pointing to right place, along with
bosboot'ing each boot device and a reboot.

Agreed.
