netbackup upgrade? 1

[thepallace]

I will be upgrading my master server from 4.5FP5 to 5.1. Do I also need to upgrade my media servers which are currently on 4.5FP5 version. Will the clients still run If I leave my media server to 4.5FP5.

Thanks,
JAQ

Clients will still run and your media servers can be phased in.

Comtec17 is correct but, if you have SSO, you may experience some problems. Thats from experience. I don't think you will find anything about it in the VERITAs docs. But check out my tagline.

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

and here is the documentation...

DOCUMENTATION: NetBackup multi-version co-existence: what combinations of 3.4, 4.5, 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0 client, media, and master servers are supported?

http://support.veritas.com/docs/264767

Rules specific to NetBackup 5.1:

Only by installing NetBackup 5.1 on a master server can any media server be upgraded to NetBackup 5.1.
Only clients running NetBackup 4.5 or later are supported when the master server is running NetBackup 5.1, regardless of the version of NetBackup installed on the media server.
A NetBackup 5.1 master server will support all versions of NetBackup 5.x media servers and all versions of NetBackup 4.5 media servers, including 4.5FPx and 4.5MPx.
