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.
