    I dont see why  you say NBU client isn't supported  with Solaris Cluster.

    The Technote you reference says in the Introduction "Cluster compatibility is only listed for NetBackup Components that are cluster aware. NetBackup clients and agents are supported in cluster environments but are not cluster aware."

    If you are using failover zones then you should be able to install NBU directly into each local zone. NBU client isnt cluster aware.

Do you mean you cannot install the NBU client pkg in the local zones? Please elaborate on the exact issue.

There is a TN on this: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH65627

I don't know why Sun Cluster would interfer with a plain NBU client. Is due to ZFS?

There is also another TN on backup/restore considerations regarding loopback file systems (lofs) where these are not read/write in local zones http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH44045
