Netbackup Compatabilitiy Version Compatability with Data Domain OS

[sriharishkandul]

Hi All,

We are planning to upgrade our Data Domain OS version from 5.4.4.2 to 5.4.5.

Our current netbackup version is 7.5.0.7.

Could some please let me know if both these versions are compatible with each other and also let me know if the OST Plugin of the Data Domain on the media server should be updated. Our current version of OST Plugin is 2.6.2.0-410681

Thanks in advance.

2.6.2.0-410681 is still supports with your new patch 5.4.5

you can also upgrad the OST plug in to 3.0.x if you would like to .. that is also supported.. since you are going with DDOS upgrade. i would suggest you to go with OST plug in as well..

Yes, you can do that but just for your information, NBU doesn't really care about the DD OS version, the only thing that is important is the plug-in version and whether it is compatible with NBU - see https://symwisedownload.symantec.com/resources/sites/SYMWISE/content/live/SOLUTIONS/76000/TECH76495/...

EMC provides a compatibility mapping between DD OS versions and Boost plug-in versions, you can obtain that matrix from the same place you download the Boost plug-in from.

Thank you so much Ram and Mouse. As per your update i will reach out to EMC about this Plugin and DDOS version.

Thank you once again.
