I think I will try upgrading a snapshot of the VM I created of the
actual server and see how that goes... I don't think there will
hardware problems on the server since it is a sun x2200m2.

Like you, I have a few 151a boxes lying around.
Originally I had a box that was upgrade every few weeks, and it managed to
be upgraded to the latest hipster, so it is possible. However the number
of incremental changes that have happened since 151a, and the incrementals
might have been pruned over time, which means that the general advice now
is that you do a fresh install and copy on your files.
The 151a boxes I have will be replaced in the next year, so that potential
headache will go away for me, and they will be fresh install on new
hardware.
Either way you decide to go, remember to take plenty of backups before you
start.

I have been letting things just 'run' for quite a while now but since I
started working towards virtualizing my systems I have come to notice that
151a is no longer a thing... Is it 'safe' for me to upgrade my servers (a
file server and a web server/mysql server) to hipster? I don't want to let
them rot on 151a if that is no longer being supported. That whole will
likely just get deeper.
I hate to do it but I could start fresh with hipster but I haven't
installed all of my stuff in 10 years so I am not sure I even remember
where to look for my notes on what I did...
