Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6 compatibility w/ 3.4 Clients?
We have had nightmares. And, that might even should be in CAPS,
underlined, and in bold.
Best to upgrade them all.
Most 3.4 clients appear to fail. You can't even use tools like 'bpdir'
on them after the upgrade.
Interestingly, some Mac 3.4 clients do seem to work.
But, at least 90% will fail if less than 5.0 (or 4.5 MP5?).
HTH
Cheers!
