Netbackup 7.0 installation and upgrade issues

Hi Guys, I'm prepping up to upgrade our existing Netbackup 6.5.4 and decided to do a mock upgrade/installation on our test machine but I'm hitting some issue(s). Please see the details below: ...
7.1.x and Earlier
Backup and Recovery

    when upgrading from 6.x to 7.x the DB conversion that takes place can take up to 1hour per 100gb Catalog (Symantec support quoted this time)

    So be patient when doing your upgrades as to not break the catalog.

I wish I could say that the install started working for me as well but even with multiple OS and NBU reinstallation attempts I was never able to get it working on Solaris in a VM
