John,

>From what I heard today from my contact at Veritas is that there will be
no more feature packs or maintenance packs for 4.5.  They seem to be
pushing 5.0 extremely hard and from what I have heard, there are some
bugs in 5.0 but will be addressed in a Maintenance Pack in late march /
early April.

Cheers
Josh

Subject: [Veritas-bu] FYI new bug in FP6

There is a bug in FP6 that causes MPX restores to fail, not patch for it
yet just a work around.

FYI:

The bug you describe was introduced in FP6:

"It looks like things were fine in FP5 and got broken in FP6.  The fix
for the existing DDTS RSVmn46560 resolves this problem.  The fix went
into 5.0, and will also go into MP7 and FP7."

So when FP7 comes out, you can apply that to fix the problem.

In the meantime, creating the following file on your master server:

/usr/openv/netbackup/NON_MPX_RESTORE

will prevent NetBackup from attempting multi-plexed restores and allow
them to complete.  Unfortunately this will mean that your restores may
take longer than normal, depending on how much data is being restored.

I am thinking about going from FP3 to FP6 as well.   We have a Netware 6
environment that is going
to Netware 6.5,  the FP6 client is certified to work w/ Netware 6.5.   I
am also having some
problems with Vault.  I have heard that FP5 or greater resolves numerous
Vaulting issues and that is
my primary reason for looking into FP6
