Well... we canceled plans this spring for a pair of IBM pSeries machines
running SLES 9 for lack of NetBackup support in that combination (as I told
Michael Adams, Symantec manager for NetBackup Product Marketing, at the
Symantec booth at Linux World San Francisco).
Symantec didn't lose a sale (we were unwilling to change backup platforms),
but we bought a pair of IBM Xeon xSeries boxes (with SLES 9). We probably
won't buy ANY pSeries servers until there is support for NetBackup on that
platform.
