Upgrade NetBackup 7.5 clients and older to 8.1.2
Does anyone know if there are any issues with upgrading 64-bit clients running 7.5 or older directly to 8.1.2? I would like to use the nbupdate deployment policies or do I need to remove the old version and install 8.1.2 from scratch? The SORT upgrade checklist doesn't go that far back. Thank you.Solved754Views0likes2Comments
Upgrade NetBackup 7.7.3 on GCS HA 6.1 Clustered Master server on Windows Server 2008 R2
Good morning, I am trying to work out how to upgrade our NetBackup infrastructure which is running on a number of soon to be end of life systems. Our Master server GCS cluster and our media servers are running on older servers which need replacing, the Windows Server 2008 R2 OS is end of support by the end of 2019 and the NetBackup version is out of standard support in May. We would like to replace the hardware and upgrade the OS, GCS clustering and NetBackup versions to the latest fully supported versions. I was hoping to use something like the following: 1. Build replacement master server nodes andmedia servers, add the new master server nodesto the GCS clusters and remove the existing servers, add the media servers to the NetBackup domain and decommission the old media servers. 2. Upgrade the OS, VCS clustering and NetBackup versions incrementally so as to maintain compatability. Is this possible without engaging with Veritas consulting? Many thanks, Alun.Solved887Views0likes1Comment
