Please verify that any OpenStorage plugins located in
directory /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins have been certified
for use with NetBackup 7.0 or later. Starting with
NetBackup 7.0, binaries are 64-bit; therefore, it is
required that any OpenStorage plugin also be 64-bit.

Warning for NetBackup 7.0 or later media servers:
if the OpenStorage plugin is not 64-bit, NetBackup will
not be able to access the OpenStorage device to perform
backups or restores.
