Hello Team,

I just want to prepare the list of Linux/Unix OS servers(client servers) that is not supported by Netbackup means that is EOLS from Netbackup.

Solaris

    Hi Dav1234 

    You should really review the SCL (software compatibility list) for this information. It's not a simple answer as there are many varients of Linux (Solaris is certainly simpler) and depending on which NetBackup version you are on will change what NetBackup versions are supported. 

    Based on you being at NetBackup 8.1.2, look through the various OS platforms you are interested in and make sure you take note of the notes! For instance - RHEL 5 is supported for NetBackup 8.0, but not for 8.1 and above. And for 8.1.2 you need RHEL 6.8 or better - this is all in the notes for each OS. 

    For NetBackup 8.x the SCL can be found here:  https://download.veritas.com/resources/content/live/OSVC/100046000/100046611/en_US/nbu_80_scl.html?__gda__=1621978776_44ae0348f0fdb429923d737a20c2bfbc#operating_systems

    Cheers

    Hello David,

    Yes correct--> RHEL 5 is supported for netbackup 8.0, but not for 8.1 and later. But 8.0 is supported by netbackup.

    Here i need which OS version(LInux/Unix) is not supported by netbackup like in windows 2003 and 2008 is not supported by Netbackup as it is OOS by respective vendor i.e. Microsoft.

        Hi Dav1234 

        I may be misunderstanding you, but Veritas will only indicate what is supported (it wont explicitly list what is not supported). If the OS is not listed then it can be safely assumed to be not supported. 

        If you want a list of OS's not supported by the vendor then you really need to go ask them. In general Veritas will only support an OS if the vendor also supports it. 

        Cheers
        David
