NetBackup 5.1 goes EOL on December 1st.  supporting an upgrade – I suspect your call would be answered but if you start having issues due to a bug in the 5.1 code then you could end up in a world of pain.

 

If your concerned about the upgrade why not talk to your account manager and see whether you can get a partial-support exception for 5.1  for a couple of months or so to cover the timeframe needed to get your upgrades done…

 

Also check out http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290141.htm for lots of info about upgrading from 5.x to 6.5

All
Cant find the document on the web, but to confirm is the 5.1 End Of Support (in other words no more support ever from Symantec) is December 2008?

Just wondered that if you are trying to upgrade to 6.5 AFTER this date, whether Symantec will still support the 5.1 environment?

Could anyone clarify?

Regards

Simon
