Any issues experienced after upgrading Netbkup Ent. Svr 5.1 to MP4?

Hi all,

Is there any bugs/issues/events experienced after upgrading Veritas Netbackup Enterprise Server 5.1 to MP4? Anyone of you has upgraded to MP4? If yes, any feedbacks so far? Is it more stable?

Was reading thru' Veritas site, but could not find other significant details.

Thanks.

Rgds,

I recently upgraded to 5.1 MP4 to take advantage of some improvements in disk staging migration. The only problem I had was with bpcoverage/check_coverage. I contacted symantec and they provided a new binary for me to download. I have heard of some problems with vaulting but I don't currently use vaulting at this site.

Just because the VERITAS documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact and that is truth.

Hello,

Same question for MP5.

Is there bugs/issues/events experienced after upgrading Veritas Netbackup Enterprise Server 5.1 to MP5?

There is currently a security issue on Netbackup, fixed by the MP5. But I don't want to apply it blindly.

Thanks.

I am not saying the data in the link below is correct or not correct. I do NOT know. But there is mention of a rumor of possible db data corruption.

No problems noted with 5.1 mp4 upgrade-

As a matter of fact the same no important pesky bugs that were present in all the prior versions, are still there.
