This is from the v5.1 install guide (p20):

====
Because the product uses file locking, VERITAS recommends that 
you not install NetBackup in an NFS mounted directory. File 
locking in NFS mounted file systems can be unreliable. 
====

May not be a good idea, then.

We had trouble running one of our large media servers on NFS, strange errors
be blamed on performance problems.  Moving the application dir to local disk
cleared the issues.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Move /usr/openv to NFS mount coming from NetApps


I am running out of space on my internal drives. I am also thinking about
migrating to a new server. Anybody moved from local file system to shared
storage. Almost all of my backups are NDMP (Netapps), and as the number of
files are growing so is the Catalog. What are the pros and cons?

Any input?

Thanks,
