Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Justin Piszcz]

It can be hard to find if you look around you may find a PDF but basically 
the Enterprise allows more control/allows you do use the -h/-M commands 
for better remote control and it includes some features not found in the 
regular version.

[Dave Markham]

Does Anyone have a pointer to the differences between Netbackup 6 Server
and Netbackup 6 Enterprise Server? I cant seem to find a comparison on
symantec.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Scott Jacobson]

Everyone I've heard from or have spoken with, who can wait, as there is now a 
direct migration path from 5.x to 6.5 (conversion still required, can't skip 
that pain) is going to do that, but around of after the release of 6.5 MP1 or 
even MP2 (which from my understanding will be released as 6.5.1 then 6.5.2.).
-sj

>>> "WEAVER, Simon (external)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 9/20/2007 11:52 PM >>>
Im looking at testing 6.5 as we are on 5.1.
 
Thought we may as well jump to the latest version (seeing as the upgrade path 
is workable) and hope for the best.
 
Symantec Support are raving about 6.5, but I guess they would :-)

Has anyone got 6.5 yet? We are running NBU 5.0 MP7 on a predomintatly
solaris platform. We are due to upgrade h/w and s/w and i was wondering
was it worth going for 6.0 which seems to be used quite a bit by people

Also we have around 20 servers including a 2 node Sun Cluster ( attached

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[DULLAART, Rob ONL]

I am currently facing the same question. 

 

We have Netbackup 5.1 with mp5,
I am thinking of first migrating to version 6 and then later migrate to
version 6.5

 

My feeling is an upgrade to version 6.0 has a big impact. And the impact
from version 6 to 6.5 is not so big. 

 

Regards, 

Rob

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Martin, Jonathan]

My Symantec SE said at one point that as soon as Microsoft Released Exchange 
2007 that binaries would be available to support it in 6.0.  That was before we 
paid for an upgrade to 6.0 a year ago.  Six months ago our plans for Exchange 
2007 got postponed so I haven't followed up or pressed this issue.

Yes, but if you want to back up Exchange 2007, then you will want to 
use NetBackup 6.5.  NetBackup 6.0 does not have support for Exchange 2007.

Has anyone got 6.5 yet? We are running NBU 5.0 MP7 on a predomintatly
solaris platform. We are due to upgrade h/w and s/w and i was wondering
was it worth going for 6.0 which seems to be used quite a bit by people
now, or do we go to new 6.5 ?

Also we have around 20 servers including a 2 node Sun Cluster ( attached
to T3 arrays ) running oracle10g. Is there anything special which can be
done with 6.5 or is it just worth still doing filesystem ! backups direct
to Tape

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Dave Markham]

Interesting. Thanks.

I got the support issue for Sol8 clients from the 6 release notes and
the section entitled "Operating Systems Not Supported as of Next Major
Release."

http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/279259.pdf

I wasnt aware of how long 6.5 has been out which was why i posed the
question to the list. I've had my head buried in perl and san stuff for
the past 6 months so havnt kept that much up to date with NBU.

Thanks for responses. Looks like ill go to 6.0 MP4.

I just know the customer who will be saying "why not the latest version?
How long will this be supported for? Its not our problem if the current
version has bugs its up to you to sort out with symantec." things like
that make you edgy when proposing a new setup.

cheers

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[rcarlisle]

I would go to 6.5.  I have done a few upgrades already and things are fine.
I am not sure what you were reading, but Solaris 8 is still supported in
6.5.  See attached compatibility matrix.  As for Oracle, not sure I would
need to more details.  If there is a lot of data you might want to consider
making it a SAN client, but that is only supported to disk for this release.
It basically sends all of the data over fiber without having to make it a
media server.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Tim Hoke]

Hmmm... Solaris 8, 9 and 10 all appear to be supported on 6.x as Client OR
Server according to this link:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/278064.htm

As for continued support, Symantec supports one major revision back.  So,
currently with 6.x (6.0 and 6.5), 5.x is also supported.  There's an updated
support statement which you can find here:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290017.htm

I couldn't put my finger on anything that talked about 6.0/6.5 end of
support life, but would expect such a statement after the next major
release.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Gregory Demilde]

Justin,

running MP5 since Monday  already found an interesting bug :
Etrack 110077 "Cannot view or restore compress images" ...

I think I might also have found another one : hot catalog backup just
kills NB_dbsrv ...

[ckstehman]

I would recommend upgrading to 6.0MP4 first, and get that working. 
Let 6.5 stabilize for awhile before making that plunge.  6.5 was just 
released.

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5






Has anyone got 6.5 yet? We are running NBU 5.0 MP7 on a predomintatly
solaris platform. We are due to upgrade h/w and s/w and i was wondering
was it worth going for 6.0 which seems to be used quite a bit by people
now, or do we go to new 6.5 ?

Also we have around 20 servers including a 2 node Sun Cluster ( attached
to T3 arrays ) running oracle10g. Is there anything special which can be
done with 6.5 or is it just worth still doing filesystem backups direct
to Tape

Thanks

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup upgrade 6 or 6.5

[Martin, Jonathan]

OUCH!  Support is one thing, will it work (with an older client
version)?

Anyone running 6.5 backing up Solaris 8 clients?  What client versions
are you running?

Im just reading through documentation and apparently Solaris 8 as a
client isnt supported under NBU 6.5 so that rules that out as the
infrastructure is still ruinning Sol8. Bit harsh me thinks.

Thing is unless we go to 6.5 the customer will be paying lots for 6 and
then in a years time when 7 comes out 6 will be no longer supported as i
beleive NBU only goes 1 level back for support?

Unless you are willing to support them every step of the way with 6.5 and 
any new problem they may encounter I'd recomend 6.0MP4 until > 6.0MP4 is 
proven.

Would you deploy something that you didn't test regardless of support?

I'd recommend 6.0MP4 as I have not done any testing with 6.5 yet.
