Netbackup 7.6 with VMWare 5.5 any advises ?

[XTREM1337]

I'm looking to upgrade my Netbackup 7.5.0.7 on Windows server to 7.6 and our VCenter's are on 5.5.

Do you have any advises before I launch the upgrade?

If you haven't already, check out NetBackup SORT

And also discussed here.

Summary: Will be supported fully in 7.6.0.2 release.. coming soon.. but an early patch for 7.6.0.1 release addressed support for vSphere 5.5 (ie a vCenter Server 5.5 and ESXi 5.5)

Hi,

Downloaded 7.6.0.2, but when combining the 2 CLT files and untaring i get the following error:

root@noc-netbackupM # ./NB_update.install

ERROR:   Missing required server files in /usr/openv/NB_7.6_Sparc/NB_7.6.0.2/NB_7
         .6.0.2_CLT:

         VrtsNB_7.6.0.2.README
         VrtsNB_7.6.0.2.postinstall
         VrtsNB_7.6.0.2.postuninstall
         VrtsNB_7.6.0.2.preinstall
         VrtsNB_7.6.0.2.preuninstall

Anu idea why.
