Anyone know if vcenter 5.5 under windows 2012 is compatible with the latest netbackup 7.5.0.7 ?  I'm asking because I cant add my new vcenter 5.5 in my netbackup Virtual Machine Servers...

Thanks

No - NBU 7.5.0.7 is not supported with Vcenter 5.5. Only 5.1 is official supported

Because Vcenter 5.5 even with NBU 7.5.0.7 is not supported.

Alex Davies said the following in October last year:

vSphere 5.5 has arrived too late to be supported by NetBackup 7.6 but we expect to support it with a maintenance within the next 6 months

Seems support will be added to the next 7.6 patch/release. No support for 7.5 is mentioned.

Best to upgrade to 7.6.0.1 in the meantime and subscribe to this doc:

Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x in a Virtual Environment:    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127089

You will receive email notification each time this doc is updated.

Some good news!

I have just stumbled upon this comment:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/what-really-makes-market-leader#comment-9852901

....  NetBackup 7.6 went GA in late December, so we built a special vSphere 5.5 patch for early adopters. The patch is available through our SymBeta download and went live January 31, 2014. If you are an early adopter and very interested, please sign up and we'll be sure you get your hands on it. If you can wait just a bit longer, the upcoming April NetBackup 7.6.0.2 maintenance release will include the patch and be widely available.

Note that vSphere 5.5 will not be supported for NetBackup 7.5.
