Re: [Veritas-bu] Most recent stable release?

I’m running 6.0 MP5 in a Windows environment and it has been running great. I’m about to go to 6.5.1 and from what I’ve read, that’s a pretty stable ledge to sit on for a little while. However, as I mentioned in another post, the server team wants me to support 2008 Server which isn’t supported until 6.5.2. From what I’m reading now, it sounds like I would be safer to downgrade the 2008 Server back to 2003 Server until some issues get resolved witih 6.5.2?

Thoughts?

We’re running 6.5.1 on a Solaris x86 master and apart from a ZFS issue (which was fixed with engineering binaries) we don’t have any ongoing problems. 6.5.2 and 6.5.2a seem to be releases that fixe lots of issues for some and create additional problems for others.

Watch out for this one with 6.5.1 on Windows:

The technote says that this is fixed in 6.5.2.

Right now I'm caught between that one and the completely broken 6.5.2A -
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305609.htm

The technote says that there's an EEB available for this. 6.5.2A is *NOT completely broken. Many years, us included, are running it in full production.

You'd think they'd test this stuff before release by ,say, trying to run a
backup or something...

This has been discussed before. Your comment is unwarranted and low shots like this don't encourage Symantec employees or other users to help you.
