At a previous job we did just what you are talking about without any
problems (we were a 3.11 at the time).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Maintenance Question


When I acquired NBU, almost two years ago, I OEM'd it through Sun
Microsystems. This means that I get my maintenance through them and they
answer my support questions. The NBU package looks just like a real Veritas
NBU package but I always have to wait until the patches are re-packaged by
Sun before I can put them on. My question is this:

When my maintenance comes due later this year and I decide I would rather go
straight through Veritas, could I? I guess I need to know if the product
from Sun is exactly the same or if I'd have to do a complete re-install so I
could start applying Veritas patches when they become available instead of
waiting several weeks (or months) for it to be re-packaged.

Just a notion I'm toying with.

Regards,
Dennis
