Now, is this telling
me that I cannot goto 6.5 now? Because we have loads of these boxes in place,
that run on 5.1, and are San Media Servers. NBU 6.5 is not a major version - it's considered by Symantec to be a minor version. Besides, it's saying that that 6.6 or
7.0 (whichever comes first) won't support IA-64 - it doesn't say that from your quote anything about it not being supporting on 6.5. It also only applies to Windows and Linux - the note definitely does not apply to HP-UX on IA64.
You sure you're running IA64 and not x64? They're drastically different architectures... You'd be the first person I've heard of that's running Windows on IA64...
Also, to clarify the
position on VMWARE, the document refers to NetBackup servers not supported. I
take it, this means SAN and Media Servers, as well as
Masters? That is correct - media servers are not supported. My interpretation is that anything that requires direct access to the tape drive hardware will not be supported. This is the same as Solaris 10 zones - they can't be media servers either. Simply put, if you have to install the server package instead of the client package, it isn't supported in a virtual machine.
