Issue

We need assistance on best practice for upgrading JBoss EAP 4.2 to EAP 5.1 using RHN
How do we subscribe our server to the 5.1 channel?
Will we need to back up the current directories due to differing directory structures, uninstall the RPMs and then install the EAP 5.1 RPM?
Where's the new Jboss install location?
What packages are included?
Can the new JBoss EAP 5 system coexist on the same system temporarily with the old JBoss EAP 4.2, or will certain packages be overwritten by the new RPM install?
