hello All,,

We are lokking forward to upgrade of our master server v7.5.0.7 to v7.7.2.

This master is running on Linux RHEL6. Also this server is acting as media server too.

 

Through OST it is connected to a Data Domain.

 

Kindly let me know what all steps needs to be taken into consideration for upgrade of this master.

Also there are some clients under this master which are having v6.5.x & v7.0, will they be compaitble with v7.7.2 or i will need to upgrade them first to v7.5.x and then go with upgrade of master server.

First thing, start with SORT:

https://sort.veritas.com/netbackup

From there you'll get links to both the Hardware and Software compatibility lists.

As for your 6.5 clients, you'll probably find that some of them can't be upgraded due to the OS they're running.  That means that you can probably still back them up with a 7.7 Master but any issues you have with them are "you're on your own".  If you can upgrade them then you'll have to decide if you want to two-step them (7.5 first and then 7.7) or wait until your Master and Media Servers are upgraded then just single-shot them to 7.7.

Also, please note that there are significant disk space and software changes between 7.5 and 7.7...make sure you read all of the notes in SORT and the Release Notes.
