<div dir="ltr">Skeeve,<div><br></div><div>I have done a number of projects where I have both Comware 5 and Comware 7 boxes (note, not COMOS, sorry ;-) )<br>There are differences in syntax, but mapping is reasonable straightforward, and is more around the hierarchy of configuration elements. <br>
<br>As far as features go, until late last year 5.2 on the 5800s had more features on the 5900s. But that has changed since the beginning of the year when a lot of things that people were waiting for were added. There is a lot more grunt on the 5900s, so it is the way to go now. (Disclaimer: I work for HP technology services, which is a short arm's length from the product group ;-) )</div>
