The way I read it is that the Etrack listings that don't have a
"Workaround" (about 95%) have been fixed. Those that instead list a
workaround, have no binary fix, just a customer procedure fix.

I would assume that this Etrack listing, though, meant that this MP2
patch fixed the issue. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Has anyone done a staged upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0 involving many
media servers using SSO?
=20
Having heard from Symantec support people of problems we've held
off waiting for a patch. This doesn't look like a fix. The release
notes from this MP appear to confirm that any upgrade should be done all
at once if you have a large SSO environment. Or at least redefining
which servers access which drives, which may be problematic in our case.

Etrack Incident =3D ET427178
=09
Description:=20
When sharing tape drives between media servers running both
NetBackup 6.0
and NetBackup 5.x, a problem existed with the NetBackup 6.0 Scan
Hosts.=20
If the drive being scanned was assigned to a NetBackup 5.x media
server,
then the NetBackup 6.0 Scan Host might not stop scanning. This
resulted
in SCSI reservation conflicts and DOWN'ed drives on the
NetBackup 5.x
assigned host.=20
=09
Workaround:=20
To avoid this issue, do not share drives between media servers
running
different versions of NetBackup. Instead, pool your drives such
that all
of your NetBackup 5.x media servers share one pool of drives and
all of
your NetBackup 6.0 media servers share a pool of different
drives.=20

Etrack Incident =3D ET495033
=09
Description:=20
The Device Monitor shows the same tape mounted in multiple
drives. This
tape is assigned to a NetBackup 5.x media server.=20
=09
Workaround:=20
To avoid this issue, do not share drives between NetBackup 6.0
media
servers and NetBackup 5.x media servers.=20
=09
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etrack Incident =3D ET513486
=09
Description:=20
The following back-level SSO interoperability issues have
occurred:
- Numerous re-registrations were consuming all of vmd's
bandwidth on the
EMM server.
- Registration failures would occur because the no-scan-host
setting,
registration retry timer would block back-level servers from
releasing
drives.
- Back-level remote scanning of NetBackup 6.0 media servers was
failing
with ENOTSCANHOST and forcing even more registrations to occur.=20
=09
Workaround:=20
DO NOT SHARE DRIVES BETWEEN 6.0 AND 5.X MEDIA SERVERS.=20
