I was just recently trying to upgrade our NetBackup Master/Media server
from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 and ran into problems with the snap copy
(flashbackup) drivers.   Prior to the upgrade, the configuration looked
like,

        Solaris 9 09/05 with latest patch cluster
        vxfs 5.0MP3RP2
        NetBackup 6.5.3.1
        QLogic 2340 FC hba's

The upgrade was performed using Solaris LiveUpgrade to Solaris 10 U7 with
the latest patch cluster.  After booting Solaris 10 I re-installed the
vxfs software to the same release and re-installed the SNC modules thinking
it may be OS release specific.  Everything seemed to be working ok until
the first schedule ran that did a Flashbackup, at which point the server
went down with a panic in the SNC driver attempting to add a cache device.
The behavior was definitely consistent in terms of each time it went to
initialize a cache device it triggered a kernel panic.

I was getting ready to put a call in on this but was curious if anyone
else had run up against this problem?

Thanks,

John
