Re: [Veritas-bu] VMware5 and NetBackup 7.0

Hello
This is very frustrating, as they are looking at VMware5 early next
year (Few weeks away now), and for NetBackup not to be "there to support it" is
not good.
And to wait for 6 - 8 months is not ideal.

Hi Simon, Yes its beta 1 and beta 2 would come around
august. So forget about full release until at least next 6 months. Anurag

Hi anurag
Thank you. We are going ESX5, so I had hoped that 7.0 or at least 7.1
would support it.
As I understand, 7.5 is in BETA still right ?
Simon
Simon, Netbackup would add the support of Vcenter 5
soon. Howerver for ESX 5 we would have to wait for netbackup
7.5 We were also about to go Netbackup VMware agent based backups however
had to drop it at last due to compatibility concerns. Anurag

7.0
Morning I wanted to see if anyone can shed some light on this question,
because I am not able to find the "official" answer. VMware announced several months ago about vmware5.
However, reading on some Symantec "Blog" sites, they talk about VMware5 being
supported in NetBackup 7.5. Well, we
are at 7.0.1 and I was kind of hoping that NetBackup and VMware5 would work in
harmony. It is a little puzzling,
because another product called VEEAM supports VMware 5 already. Should I really
have to change to a different product to get support? If anyone either from Symantec, or anyone that has
deployed VMware 5 can advise, this would be apprecaited, as I think its a bit
foolish to upgrade to the later product if your backup solution doesnt meet the
support requirements. Thank you for
your help and any input :-) Regards Simon
