Sure, but Dean's original post described a plan to upgrade his Win2k3
media servers AND move them into his Linux-mastered 6.5.2 environment at the
same time.
My point is that he can actually go ahead and one-step that process (move
in first, then upgrade once bound to the 6.5.2 master), he just has to be
careful not to target the added media server with any 6.5.2 clients. (Unless
what you say about disk STUs is true, but I don't believe that it is: I think
that's restricted to 6.0 flat through MP2, when EMM was just new to the scene.
Further back you're in full-on compat mode, and that still functions with
tape.)

Ed, I don't see where
what you've quoted states that, nor do I see it stated in the relevant
documentation myself. The only discussion of 5.x I see at http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/264767.htm is
under the points specific to NetBackup 6.0 ("A 6.0 master will work with 5.1 and 5.0MP1 (or later) media servers.
NetBackup 5.0 Maintenance Pack 1 or later is the minimum required
version for a 5.x Media server in a 6.0 environment. See TechNote 278153 for
additional details.")
Have you tried yourself
and found this limitation?
Nope - we don't keep our master and media servers that far apart with
releases.
The text you quote explicitly avoids
mentioning anything below 6.0, but you're saying it applies to prior
releases...?
That's the way I interpret it but I could be wrong. In any case,
if you read 290141 that you referenced earlier, it says:
Upgrading 5.x media servers and clients to 6.5.x
is an optional step, although it is strongly recommended. NetBackup 5.x media
servers are supported in a NetBackup 6.5.x environment. However, clients that
are upgraded to NetBackup 6.5.x cannot be backed up to NetBackup 5.x or 6.0
media servers. In addition, 5.x media servers and clients will not be
supported in the next major release of NetBackup. Therefore, it is
recommended that you update all 5.x media servers and clients to NetBackup
6.5.x to avoid compatibility issues.
5.1 has also reached its
end of standard support. You could certainly try a 6.5.x master with a 5.1
media server, but you're pretty much on your own if you do and you can't back up
clients that are newer than 5.1 (remember that media servers have to be at a
release newer than the clients).
