John,

Thanks for the advice, this one is the winner.  We had the 4.5 client 
installed on the AIX 4.3.3 server, for what seems like forever.  The 
previous admin (and my boss) told me that he attempted to install a newer 
version without success.  I took him at his word.  After your post, I felt 
inspired to attempt it myself.  I found my stash of 5.1 media and 
installed the client on my test 4.3.3 server.  Test backups and restores 
succeeded.

Thanks a million,

Scott

Re: [Veritas-bu] AIX 4.3.3 Client






Greg, as far as I can tell, the NB 5.1 client supports AIX 4.3.3.10.
Why not just update the AIX client to 5.1 which does works with 6.x?
We have a number clients running 5.1 with our 6.5.3 server.
