Netbackup upgrade
I am trying to upgrade a server from 9.1.0.1 to 10.3 After running the prechecks with the installer I get an error message: Can't read file C:\Program files\Veritas\db\Data\vxdbms.conf at C:\Users\**\AppData\Local\Temp\**file name that does not exist**" Our vxdmbs file is located at C:\Program files\Veritas\NetBackup\NetBackupDB\Data How do I fix where the installer is looking for the file. I have already looked at the file and it has the right file path.
NetBackup 7.5.0.6 (NetBackup 7.5 Maintenance Release 6) is now available!
(This is a crosspost from the Netting Out NetBackup blog) I'm very pleased to announce that the next Maintenance Release for NetBackup 7.5 is now available! NetBackup 7.5.0.6 is the sixth maintenance release for NetBackup 7.5. It is a cumulative release containing fixes and content from 7.5.0.1 through 7.5.0.5. In addition, this release contains almost 600 additional fixes (bringing the total fixes in 7.5.0.6 to over 1700!) including the most commonly downloaded EEBs, several customer escalations, and internal engineering defects. NetBackup 7.5.0.6 includes the following proliferations and enhancements: YES, Windows Server 2012/8 is now supported! db2 10.1 (snapshot support; streaming support was added in 7.5.0.5) Exchange 2013 Hyper-V 2012 SharePoint 2013 SAP HANA client support - see this blog post for more information To download 7.5.0.5, please visit the following page: NetBackup 7.5.0.6 Download Links http://symantec.com/docs/TECH204644 (link is fixed - sorry about that!) This is a MAINTENANCE Release for NetBackup (as opposed to a Release Update) - it can ONLY be applied on top of NetBackup 7.5. (If you are currently running 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.1, or 7.1.0.x, you will need to upgrade to 7.5 before you can apply 7.5.0.6.) Please note that maintenance releases are CUMULATIVE - that means that 7.5.0.6 contains all product fixes included in 7.5.0.1, 7.5.0.2, 7.5.0.3, 7.5.0.4 AND 7.5.0.5. If you are currently running NetBackup 7.5, you may apply the 7.5.0.6 maintenanace release without installing 7.5.0.1, 7.5.0.3, 7.5.0.4 or 7.5.0.5. In fact, if you are still running NetBackup 7.5, we would HIGHLY encourage applying 7.5.0.6! To check to see if your particular Etrack is resolved in NetBackup 7.5.0.6, please refer to these Release Notes: NetBackup 7.5.0.6 Release Notes http://symantec.com/docs/DOC6396 The NetBackup 7.5 Late Breaking News has also been updated to reflect newly released fixes in 7.5.0.6 for some of our highest visibility issues: NetBackup 7.5 Late Breaking News http://symantec.com/docs/TECH178334 --

NetBackup 8.1.2 upgrade via SCCM
We’re trying to upgrade NetBackup from 7.5 to 8.1.2. on Windows clients remotely via our Linux Master. Due to significant changes between these two versions we are not able to deploy an upgrade as the certificate authentication tech has changed dramatically. We now need to get this certificate installed on each of the clients before master/client communication can occur. So, we won’t have to touch our hundreds of servers manually we are looking into ways of automating this via SCCM. Is anyone aware of a way to deploy the 8.1.2. client with both cert and client packaged together via SCCM? How to find and package the certificate with the client? What are the best practices - deploy cert alone, combine cert and installer, remove 7.5 first then install 8.1.2? Thanks, Mark
