    Solaris 11 Express minimum NetBackup Client version is v7.0.1, no BMR.

    Solaris 11 minimum NetBackup Client Client version is v7.1.  And BMR support begins from NetBackup Client v7.6.

    See here:

    .

    So, if you want NetBackup Client and NetBackup BMR support for a Solaris 11 (not Express) client then you need NetBackup v7.6 as minimum - there was no version "v7.6", and instead the first GA version of v7.6 was in fact v7.6.0.1 - but, as ever, the usual advice is to go the highest version minor version that you can in that major version family - so I would suggest v7.6.1.2 over v7.6.0.4.

    You will need to update the master and media servers, the client can not be at a higher version.
