Re: [Veritas-bu] how fo fool nbu client versions

I have tested this on some proprietary servers of my own, and the 5.1 client works with 7.0, although not supported. If you are running any 6.5.x with a 5.1 client, that isn't supported either, so no harm, no foul. From what I understand, the code base isn't that different from 6.5 to 7.0, and that is why it works.

Personally, I start to rail on and berate application owners who hold on to these systems. If it were my power to do so, I would begin a system of chargeback whereby holding on these systems would be so cost prohibitive, the incentive would be there to move off of these systems. It is ok to dream, isn't it?

I have a production machine that is running proprietary applications running on a server with FreeBSD5.2 that will not run on newer versions of FreeBSD. I need a way to update the client from NBU 5.1 client so we can proceed to NBU 7 in our environment. Does anyone have a helpful hint as to where I can start looking for a solution for this?
