Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade to 6.5 or 6.0MP4

Are those 2 bugs only in 6.0 MP5 or MP4 as well?

I am migrating from Solaris to AIX, and I have to tune the buffer settings on AIX media server to get good throughput. I haven't been able to test NDMP on it yet though.

6.0 MP5 has two significant bugs that I know of:

1. Compressed catalogs cannot be read when browsing backups to be restored: You have to open a support case and get a new bpdbm binary.
2. NDMP backups fail if you have tuned Netbackup with NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS. You have to open a support case get a new bptm binary.

Well, I’d say got to 6.0 MP5 (not MP4) since it addresses some issues in MP4, specifically things we’ve had issues with.
I’m always very hesitant to move to any new software version of any product, be it Netbackup or anything else.
But with Netbackup I’ve learned not to touch it until at least MP2 is out – clearly Symantec, like most software companies, considers time to market more important than addressing all bugs out of the gate so I strongly suggest 6.0MP5 unless there is a feature only available in 6.5 that you absolutely must have… caveat emptor.
