Question regarding NBU upgrade to 8.2 with MSDP

me-ver-91
Level 4

Hello experts,

I have a NetBackup server (master/media/MSDP storage) that has NBU 7.7.3 installed. I want to upgrade it to NBU 8.2.

I read online that an MSDP EEB (hotfix) needs to be installed on it before upgrading to NBU 8.1+ in order to run the pre-fingerprint conversion process (https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100044681.html). This article also says that after upgrading to NBU 8.1+ we should immediately apply the associated 8.1+ MSDP EEB Bundle. However, I cannot find anywhere online the MSDP EEB bundle for 8.2 that should be applied post upgrade.

Is there such 8.2 MSDP EEB bundle or is it only for 8.1.x? And how can I find it?

Thanking you in advance and have a nice day.

Best to install 7.7.3 pre-upgrade EEB and perform pre-conversion.

With 8.2, there is no post-upgrade EEB (the fix is included).

Thank you Marianne.

Just to be clear. There is no need to install any EEB before/after upgrading to 8.2 now?

Have a nice day.
