Upgrade 6.5 to NETBACKUP 7.5
In my LIVE Env, i have SUN machine SPARC Entry Server.
NetBackup 6.5 master/media on it. Requirement is to upgrade it to 7.5 Master/Media and clients ORACLE RMAN Backups on solaris machines.
kindly correct me if i am wrong. the steps i will follow are:
1) Download NBU 7 media
2) down NBU Services on live machine
3) Apply 7.0, up Netbackup services.
4) download 7.5 media
5) Apply 7.5 and up services.
------------------------------------------------
Master Media upgraded. now to upgrade the client for 7.5. steps needed. HOT backups are configured for ORACLE RMAN.
Does linking again needed to be performed ? ? ?
You can go stright to 7.5.
Do NOT start the services at 7.5, but first install the 7.5.0.3 or .04 patch,as there is a bug at 7.5 that may affect you.
Look at SORT for NBU (link on here https://sort.symantec.com )
and use the upgrade checklist feature and look at the 7.x upgrade portal

Everything you could possible need is in these two areas.
