We're presently running 6.0 MP6 on Windows. Anyone know the following about applying the security pack (NB_60_7S01_M.winnt.intel.exe) suggested in Symantec Security Advisory SYM09-002, http://support.veritas.com/docs/317828:
1. in addition to the security binary, does this patch also roll up all the other MP7 features?
2. at minimum, is this security patch only required on the master server?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

1. No, and in fact you can only install MP7 S01 if you've previously installed MP7 first.
2. It's required anywhere the vnetd port (13724) is open, so that'll depend on your network and firewalls.

Thanks for that. I asked the first question based on this note in the MP download link:
The following information describes the upgrade and downgrade rules or scenarios
that apply to this maintenance pack.
- Upgrade scenarios:
The NetBackup 6.0 MP7 pack install:
- Can be applied on top of NetBackup 6.0 GA or any 6.0 MPx (prior to MP7).
I guess I misinterpreted this...

Those are MP7 instructions (as opposed to MP7 S01 instructions).
Anticipating your NEXT question, I don't really have any idea why MP7 instructions are in the MP7 S01 README. :)
