Convert Netbackup Appliance 5250 to Flex Appliance 5250.

Hi everyone, I understand that the NetBackup Appliance 5250 is great, but it lacks WORM (Immutable). I would like to inquire if it's possible to convert the NetBackup Appliance 5250 to a Flex Applia...

    Hi rformas-LOL 

    Yes this is possible. You will need to talk the people that sold the appliance to you so that the correct licensing is applied and the Veritas backend systems are adjusted. The particular hardware model you have should be fine to convert, but again check with the account team. 

    You need to understand that the conversion is a complete reimage, so any data currently in the appliance will be destroyed as part of the process. 

    Cheers
