Hello Experts,
Just wanted to know if AIR between 5230 and 5220 would work properly. Does anyone have any working configuration. What can be the performance implications if we do it this way?
I understand that theoratically if the Netbackup version is same , it should not have any issues but want to validate it before I propose.

Not done it myself with physical 5220 <-> 5230... but have done plenty of 5220 <-> 5220, and 5230 <-> 5230 - and testing using physical NetBackup on Windows 2008 R2 MSDP <-> virtual 52xx appliance. No interop issues ever encountered. And, I've never seen a posting or tech note which highlighted any hardware interop issues or hardware interop limitations.
One of the key points about appliances is that you can replicate between 5220 <-> 5230 - so that customers can realize the long term interop benefits of their investment in hardware and software.

There are no restrictions around this in hardware terms. It is a purely a NetBackup software version compatibility question. If both appliance and thus NetBackup versions are the same, no problem.
