Well, _this_ was interesting. Simply, upgrading a Solaris master to
7.1 can/will hang if there are Windows clients with hardware types of
x86, x64 or IA64.
The good news is that it does no damage and that there is a simple
workaround that, um, works.

Interesting. Since NetBackup doesn't need anything but bptm and an
LTO4 to do KMS, do you know if your library somehow blocks that
process if that "app managed crypto" isn't turned on?

Because--and I'm sure you know this--now that Microsoft no longer
supports its server OSes which don't have VSS, neither can Veritas
(no Win2000 in NetBackup 7)--hence no longer a need to provide
OTM/VSP.
