Hi,
Currently I use NBU 8.0 in my environment, since this version was lauched in the end of last year, if Im not mistaken this version was lauched in 5 december, the custommer wants to install then it. Yesterday I was take a look on EEB guide and saw that many problems in 7.6, 7.7,7.7.2 and 7.7.3 was solved in this version.
In the beginning I had some problems because this new version have a webservice, specifically with webconsole, during the installation of master server, but only this, here the customer give an domain account and according this document https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000081350, I could use, without problem:
Note: If your master is clustered, then you must use a domain account. Domain account can be used in non-clustered environments.
But some time ago, the web services stopp to work. I open a case on Veritas Support and the engineer that back-lines of Veritas support, Were recommending that clients change the domain account through a local account.Nowadays the webservice still not works fine, so If possible use local account instead of domain account.
I think that you can go ahead with upgrade of your environment just take a look the Documentation, especially in Relaese Notes e EEB Guide. Recently I found this article below and Im running after to apply these EEBs and solve this issues.

I hope that its can help you.
