NetBackup Virtual Appliance compatibility with vSphere 6.5
Hi, we are considering deploying NetBackup for a newly installed VMware infrastructure. It's fully virtualized environment and we planned to use NetBackup Virtual Appliances - for both Master server and Backup media server. The installed vSphere version is 6.5 and we would use appliances ver. 3.1.2. However the documentation says, in section "Notes on NetBackup Virtual Appliance as a VMware backup host", that "The appliance supports vSphere versions 5.5 and 6.0". Does this mean the appliance is supported as a backup host in vSphere 6.0 and old 5.5 but NOT 6.5? It wouldn't be very nice. Does anyone have any experience using virtual appliances in vSphere 6.5 environment? I went through Software Compatibility List but it wasn't very helpful as details for Netbackup appliances as backup hosts are missing. Thanks, Petr
Netbackup 7.0 LTO7 Hardware Compatibility List
Hello everybody, I want to clarify some doubts. I havea customer who have a Netbakup 7.0 Domain. He is planning to upgrade their Netbackup enviroment and migrating historical backup on a old tape drives such as SDLT to new LTOtecnologies. He wants to duplicate that historical information to new LTO 7 but before that He ask for a POC on the new LTO7 Thecnology amd Netbackup 7.0. I found into the HLC for Netbackup 7.0 Compatibility with LTO7 but it is not clear if posible to implement. The master server is installed on Solaris 10 The new Tape library is going to be SL150 with LTO7 tape drives. Is that compatible with netbackup 7.0? What are the dependences in order to run the POC? If all works well on the POC using the LTO7 and Netbackup 7.0my customer will upgrade to Netbackup 7.7 and the historical backups will be duplicated to LTO7. Any advice on that?
