manalisharmabe,
I was assuming that since you posted this question in the Solaris section, that you where installing on Solaris. We currently have 7.1.0.2 install on Solaris 10 SPARC (master), Windows 2008 (media - for VMs), Solaris 10 x86 (media) and Linux (Teradata - media). We are testing for the upgrade to 7.5

I looked at the info on the page from the link you provided. From what I read the older versions of Windows don't have 7.5 clients for them. Take note that the NetBackup client and server programs do not need to at the same level to work together. You can still use the older clients to backup the servers until you rebuild the client server to a newer OS.

Some notes from when we did our last upgrade.
1) Name the new backup server the same as the old.
2) Solaris x86 has less NetBackup features then Solaris SPARC
This User Gave Thanks to bitlord For This Post:
