Re: [Veritas-bu] Clarification on NetBackup 5.1 & 6.5

Might be Linux rather than Windows or
HP-UX.
During my recent load of Oracle 10gR2 on
Linux (on x86_64) I found many notes about install on Linux on Itanium.
Interestingly we’ve found things
from Oracle that work on PA-RISC for HP-UX but NOT on Itanium for HP-UX,

On page 15, point 94 it mentions Next major or minor release

Now, is this telling me that I cannot goto 6.5 now? Because
we have loads of these boxes in place, that run on 5.1, and are San Media
Servers.
NBU 6.5 is not a major version - it's considered by Symantec to be a minor
version. Besides, it's saying that that 6.6 or 7.0 (whichever comes
first) won't support IA-64 - it doesn't say that from your quote anything about
it not being supporting on 6.5. It also only applies to Windows and Linux
- the note definitely does not apply to HP-UX on IA64.
You sure you're running IA64 and not x64? They're drastically different
architectures... You'd be the first person I've heard of that's running
Windows on IA64...
Also, to clarify the position on VMWARE, the document refers
to NetBackup servers not supported. I take it, this means SAN and Media
Servers, as well as Masters?
That is correct - media servers are not supported. My
interpretation is that anything that requires direct access to the tape drive
hardware will not be supported. This is the same as Solaris 10 zones -
they can't be media servers either. Simply put, if you have to install
the server package instead of the client package, it isn't supported in a
virtual machine.
