Wow.

Can you get some solid metrics on the speed drop?

Is it only Exchange clients that are affected?

Are these clients, SAN clients, SAN media servers, etc?

Have you opened a case with Symantec over the issue yet?

(Yes: I'd recommend updating the client software. As I believe I mentioned on 
list, the security vulnerability, part of what 6.5.3.1 corrects, affects all 
members of your NetBackup system, including clients.)

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5 Release Update 3 Hotfix 1 (6.5.3.1)

We upgraded out master and two media servers to 6.5.3.1 (in order to backup a 
standby Exchange CCR node and Windows 2008) this week and our full backups this 
weekend are running incredibly slow, about 1/3 the normal speed.  The client 
agents have not been upgraded, they are at v. 6.5.1.  Do you think upgrading 
the agent will fix the speed issue, or am I going to need to open a support 
case?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

3 times.  6.5 base, 6.5.3 patch kit, then 6.5.3.1 security patch.  Without 
LiveUpdate, I can't see any way to shrink this to less than 3 separate installs.
