Hi,

I need to upgrade the netbackup version on my media server from 7.5.0.6 to 7.6.0.2. Media server has RHEL as operating system and has stu configured as disk (basic disk) mainly used for staging.

Now, i am a bit confused, that if i go for ugradation of this media server, do I need to cater any special requirement. or it will be simple media server upgrade.

 

Please respond so that i can move on.

 

Kind Regards

Manish

The only major change in NBU 7.6 is MSDP. 

So, if your media server has basic disk only, there is nothing 'special' to the upgrade.

We recently did one of those, Red Hat Media Server with Basic Disk staging, upgrade from 7.5 to 7.6 and then 7.6.0.3.  Simple and painless.
