Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup on CentOS ??

Fair enough.. Or at least along the lines of what I
was suspecting was the case (the supportability of it).
I’m running mine on SLES (was v9 with v6.x, upgrading as
we speak to v11 to go with NBU v7).
That resolves my curiosity,
Thanks..

wondering if any of you know why CentOS isn’t supported as a NBU Master?
The compatibility matrix isn't really about what works - it's about what
Symantec will support. Many people have done all sorts of things that
work, although may not be supported.
In order for Symantec to support CentOS as a master, they would have to build
it and continue to update and support it. Every new update would require
re-certification on yet another platform. Would you want your master
server to be on a platform that Symantec hasn't thoroughly tested? Of
course not.
I suspect that there's not a lot of demand for a CentOS-based master
either. NetBackup is an enterprise product and most enterprises probably
want support on their production operating systems.
CentOS is not RHEL. It never has been and never can be. It's close,
but from an enterprise support perspective, close isn't good enough.
