Re: [Veritas-bu] Clarification on NetBackup 5.1 & 6.5

All

Ed kindly sent me a PDF on the compatability for NBU 6.x

On page 15, point 94 it mentions Next major or minor release following NBU 6.5 Master / Media Servers will no longer be supported on Intel Itanium IA-64 hardware.

Now, is this telling me that I cannot goto 6.5 now? Because we have loads of these boxes in place, that run on 5.1, and are San Media Servers.

Also, to clarify the position on VMWARE, the document refers to NetBackup servers not supported. I take it, this means SAN and Media Servers, as well as Masters?

Thanks

Regards

Simon

1) Does Symantec support NetBackup 5.1 or 6.5 in a virtualised environment?
(ie: Master or Media Server on a Vmware host)?

No. Only NetBackup clients are supported.

http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/278064.pdf
"VMware support is limited to supported NetBackup operating system clients-only; NetBackup servers are not supported."

2) Can anyone clarify if NT4.0 is supported with 6.5 ?

It is not supported with any 6.x release. Refer to the the compatibility chart above.
