Hmm what about MSDP? Not available for AIX as an example.

That's not true. Symantec NetBackup has tier-1 platforms which are
treated equally: Windows x86, Windows x64, Red Hat, Suse, Solaris Sparc,
Solaris x86, HP-UX, AIX.
AIX and HP-UX, sometimes, divert from - what I would call - standard UNIX
behavior (Linux and Solaris world). That introduces challenges and exposes
platform-specific bugs.
Most of NetBackup code is platform independent. So, preference of
platforms comes only when we are writing platform specific (OS/kernel,
file-system, ...) code - which is not very common.
If you don't mind, please let me know EEB ET number and workaround
case/ET number.
Thanks,

Currently running 7.0.1 on AIX, and I really want to move off to Linux.
The code maturity on AIX lags behind, in my humble opinion. I have one EEB
installed and one workaround in place to compensate for the lag.
New features are late comers to AIX as well.
I actually fielded the question to Symantec reps, and they said that
Linux is the primary development platform now.
