Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU Rel 7.0

For what it’s worth, I finished my upgrade to v7 late yesterday, so I’ve just checked in on my overnight backups.

So far, so good..

My only issue NBU-related was that my BMR databases wouldn’t upgrade. It wasn’t a huge problem, I had it set up but didn’t use it (I need to rtfm more to understand it better). I just removed it, reran the upgrade steps, and everything went in fine. It took me a little bit to find out what was failing (i.e., read the output on the screen and look through the logs it tells you to look through).

I’ll set up BMR again later when I have more time to spend on it.

We have recently been given the chance to goto 7, but only recently got 1 environment to 6.5.4 six months ago, and still have another environment in the process of still being moved from 5.1 - 6.5

VMWare components would be the only real interest for me.

I haven't heard any horror stories from anybody yet, either in discussions for which I'm under NDA nor on the list. So far, it seems to be no worse than any recent 6.5.x release and for some things (like VMware backups) it's significantly better.

There are certainly people upgrading their production systems to 7.0. We're trying to find the time to do it ourselves but we're still short-staffed (any storage/backup admins in Minnesota want a new job?). We're at 6.5.4 today as well.
