NetBackup client support for HP-UX

I am trying to find out if HP-UX 11.31 clients are supported by NetBackup. I have found this document - https://download.veritas.com/resources/content/live/SFDC/25000/000025229/en_US/nbu_77_scl.pd...
7.7

    I have been saving Compatibility Lists with the release date for a couply of years now.

    It seems that Symantec/Veritas sometimes forget to update the footnotes and simply leave them as-is in newer versions.

    I found this footnote in a 2013 version of the OS SCL (and subsequent 7.0 - 7.6 SCLs):

    1. BMR Client/Boot Server support began in NetBackup 7.0.1. HP-UX 11.31 GA through Update-March 2012 levels are supported.

    All I can suggest is to try it.
    I cannot see why newer patch levels of the OS would not be supported.

Hi Marianne,

Thanks for your reply.

I am also interested in Bare-Metal Recovery. I guess you're saying that Baremetal recovery is not supported on HP-UX 11.31 newer than March 2012? (Which pretty much means all recent instalations).

Best regards,

Gary
