Re: [Veritas-bu] Symantec Device Driver Package or Official HP Vendor Drivers
2009-09-30 11:35:46
The trend from Symantec, and other vendors, has been to away from providing their own device drivers. We saw that with the OTM to VSP to VSS migration and we are also seeing with tape drivers - Symantec does not even have a tape driver package for 64-bit Windows.
Our our Windows media server, we've been installing the HP tape drivers and it's been working fine. It's been that way for a couple of years or more.

Hi everyone,
Back in the early days of 3.x of NetBackup, there was always a requirement to use the Veritas Approved Drivers for NetBackup.
With 6.0 and onwards, is this still a real requirment? I have been going ahead and using the latest HP / IBM Vendor drivers where required, and to date, have never had a problem.
Just wanted to get an idea if there is a preference or is this now considered an "option" if you do not have the drivers available?
