Hi Adam
I've just upgraded one major scientific research company, and have another
client who's purchased and installed nb 5.0 - been reading everything about
the "bugs" too. What I'd like to know from anyone saying "dont upgrade"
is... what exactly makes this upgrade/install such a major issue? Whats
going wrong to make it a bad upgrade? Reason I'm asking is... I cant
exactly go to the clients now and say "hey guess what, your software is
buggered, here's lets turn everything upside down and reinstall 4.5" :) as
much as I'd like to, this cant happen. So what do i look out for in 5.0
thats apparently such an issue?
We are currently having issues at one client and I'd like to see if it may
have something to do with 5.0 being a bad upgrade option.
I'm very new to netbackup, so im taking things slow before i jump the gun.
thanks and kind regards, :)

Hi.
NBU 5 is, "Less than Perfect" at the present time!, as I'm sure you will
have seen by the number of posts to this newsgroup and the general Veritas
support forums around the net!.
The general consensus is NOT to upgrade until at least the first service
pack (MP1) comes out, which is supposed to stabalise the product. Veritas
seem to have ushered the initial release out the door like most other
software vendors to get it's presence in the market with new features such
as disk staging etc.
My personal advice to anyone thinking of upgrading now is DON'T!!!.
I see about 10 - 15 clients a week on a consultancy basis and have had the
same problems with each and everyone of them who have upgraded.
If you have upgraded, you could try applying the first patch they have
released on support.veritas.com but you're still going to have to grin and
bare it for the most part, I'm afraid!.
Rgds,
Adam Mason.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.0 upgrade and now all kinds of media
errors and network errors
Hello all....
We have just upgraded to 5.0 from 4.5. Our 4.5 environment was running
clean with no errors. Now after the upgrade, I am getting a ton of 54, 84,
86 errors. Oracle RMAN backups are getting errors at times then other times
they are perfect. My catalog backup some days is great then other days I
get 84 errors non-stop.
Master/Media server is Solaris 9 with Spectra 64K AIT-3 Library.
Has anyone seen this?
Thanks
Paul
