[CRZ]

I'm very pleased to announce that a new Maintenance Release for NetBackup 7.1 is now available!

NetBackup 7.1.0.3 is the third maintenance release on NetBackup 7.1.  This release contains several new proliferations as listed below:

• Support for vSphere5

Along with above mentioned proliferations, several customer issues and internal engineering defects were fixed covering:

This is a MAINTENANCE Release (as opposed to a Release Update) - it can ONLY be applied on top of NetBackup 7.1.  (If you are running 7.0 or 7.0.1, you will need to upgrade to 7.1 before you can apply 7.1.0.3.)

Please note that maintenance releases are CUMULATIVE - that means that 7.1.0.3 contains all product fixes included in 7.1.0.1, 7.1.0.2 AND 7.1.0.3.  If you are currently running NetBackup 7.1, you may apply the 7.1.0.3 maintenanace release without installing 7.1.0.1 or 7.1.0.2.  In fact, if you are still running NetBackup 7.1, we would HIGHLY encourage applying 7.1.0.3!
