Re: [Veritas-bu] End Of Life - NetBackup 5.1

Hi Joseph
Not really worried about the upgrade, just the time to get
it done, and if something goes wrong. The environment is pretty mixed up 24x7,
so need to take care before going at it like a bull in a china
shop!
Basically, if I had a Tech issue, that did not rely on a
bug fix, I needed to confirm there would be partial support

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
