Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.5.4 Upgrade
I wanted to find out from anyone that has upgraded from 6.5.3.1 to 6.5.4 if the upgrade increased stability on EMM or were there new bugs that are far worse than the EMM issues? I'm upgrading the last of my media servers to 6.5.4 today. The only issue I've come across with 6.5.4 is that if a restore requests a tape that's not in any of my libraries, nbrb gets hung up and I have to restart NetBackup. I have a case open with Symantec on this. It may be peculiar to my Tru64 master server.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6.5.4 Upgrade
I recently upgraded from 6.5.3 to 6.5.4 and did run into an issue with vault. The issue is with the Keyword used for archives. There has always been a character limit of 127 but previously was just truncated and continued. Now at 6.5.4, the limit is enforced and if the keyword is longer than 127 characters, the vault will not work. Below is what I had to do to fix the issue: I ran the command : bpimagelist -l -d 1/1/1970 C:\TEMP\bpimagelist.txt If this fails with : Text Eceeded Allowed Length Changes to the image header for keyword has to be fixed. The rerun the command. When this command succeeds, the vault will work again.

Daniel Jimenez Data Protection Team Hi, The 6.5.4 server software seems to be an improvement over earlier 6.5.x releases. However, for the client (if you backup windows hosts/DFSR), the 6.5.3+registry hack should still be used, 6.5.4 still has problems and Symantec is working with MSOFT on the problem.
