I'm about ready to upgrade one of our Masters ::--->
Solaris 10 v445 [master & 1 media]...
I have several questions ::--->
1:: When I remove NetBackup do I also remove PBX?
2:: Are there any gotcha's I should worry about?
Thanks.......

Any reason you want to upgrade to 7.1 and not 7.5?
All new features are included in 7.5.x.
Detailed steps to remove existing packages in preparation of upgrade can be found in NBU Installation Guide for Unix/Linux.
The only requirement is 'pkgrm SYMCnetbp'.
Please go through 7.x Upgrade Portal carefully.
Read all relevant links (including SORT).
You will also find links to 'Late Breaking News' that contains known 'gotcha's'.

1:: When I remove NetBackup do I also remove PBX? -> no
2:: Are there any gotcha's I should worry about? Be sure to have a good hot catalog backup BEFORE you do the upgrade.

If the upgrade fails for some reason :
NetBackup 7 Upgrade Advisory: How to troubleshoot and repair a broken/failed database upgrade": http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126856

What are the steps needed to back out of a failed Veritas NetBackup (tm) 7.x installation on a Windows system": http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76643
Once you upgrade to 7.1 or 7.5 run a few test backups and then another hot catalog backup.
Next patch up to 7.1.0.4 or 7.5.0.4

I have this down for removal ::--->

pkgrm SYMCnbvlt
pkgrm SYMCnetbp
pkginfo | grep -i sym

I would like to goto 7.5 but that will be later...
Thanks!
