Netbackup Appliance 5220 upgrade

Version 2.6.0.3
I would like to perform an upgrade to  2.7.3 or 3.0 

Kindly let me know the procedure and where to download the software.

I never worked on appliance before. Please help to find the right documents if any.

 

Master version is at 7.6.0.3, I'm planning to upgrade this to 8.0.

 

  • First off, you can't go directly to 2.7.3 or 3.0 from 2.6.0.3, you'll need to go to 2.6.1 first.  From there you can go straight to 3.0.

    You must upgrade the master first to 8.0, in case you didn't know that.

    Documentation-wise, start with the Appliance Upgrade guide.  There is an upgrade guide for both 2.7.3 and 3.0.  If you want ultimately to go to 3.0/8.0, my advice is to go to it and only stop off on the versions you need to, like getting 2.6.0.3 to 2.6.1.

    Appliance docs are here

  • Yes, those are the files you want to download BUT as I said in one of the earlier posts, you can't go to 2.7.x or 3.0 straight from where you're at.

    You have to go from 2.6.0.3 to 2.6.1.2.  Then you can go to 2.7.x or 3.0 depending on which you want to do.

    You can download the 2.6.1.2 upgrade files from 

    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000024747

    So download the 2.6.1.2a files, upgrade, and then you can go to 2.7.3 or 3.0 whichever you wish.
