Operating SystemsMost Operating System vendors provide patches and updates to their products. It is a best practice of NetBackup Quality Engineering to test with the latest patch level

of the operating system when testing a platform. If a known problem exists on a specific service pack or patched OS level, this information will be identified in the tablesbelow. Otherwise, it is likely that current patch versions of releases will work with NetBackup for the Operating Systems listed below unless otherwise noted. Symantecsupports the standard un-altered kernel/Operating System levels as indicated in the table. Should an issue arise on a revised kernel, Operating System, or virtual

system environment, Symantec support may request the recreation of the problem with the standard operating environment distribution.

"Minimum NetBackup 6.X Level"The information in this column is the minimum level of NetBackup 6 that must be installed on the client or server to support this version of the OS. Please refer to

TechNote #303344for NetBackup 5.x compatibility information.

"Backward Compatibility"

NetBackup 5.x clients and media server are supported with NetBackup 6.x servers. See TechDoc 263839 forNetBackup 5.x compatibility list.

"NetBackup Vault"

This option runs on the same operating systems and versions and in the same clustering environments as NetBackup except as noted in the NetBackup Release Notes.NetBackup restrictions and limitations related to systems, clusters, and peripherals also apply to Vault.Exception: Vault does not support standalone drives.

"Data at Rest Key Management Service (KMS)"This feature is a Master server-based symmetric key managment service that manages symmetric cryptography keys for tape drives that conform to the T10 standard

(i.e. LTO4). Beginning in NetBackup 6.5.2 KMS is supported on all OS versions where the Master Server and Media Server are supported unless otherwise noted.

"Support Definitions"Symantec Maintenance/Support only applies to Symantec Licensed Software, assuming you have a current Symantec Maintenance/Support subscription for such

software and such Symantec Licensed Software is operating in configurations which Symantec designates as supported. Symantec Maintenance/Support does notcover (and we have no responsibility for) providing technical support, installation services or other services for any other software or hardware products. Also, Symantecis not obligated to provide Maintenance/Support when your Symantec Licensed Software is operating in configurations Symantec does not designate as

supportable/supported. Please see the current Symantec Technical Support Policy and your Symantec license agreement for more information, terms and limitations.

"Supported Configurations"

For more information including technical notes regarding currently Symantec -supported configurations (such as operating system/levels, firmware levels, databases,devices, device drivers, applications, etc.), please refer to our website Please note that while Symantec makesreasonable efforts to keep this information updated, we cannot assure that this information will be in all cases complete or the most current.

"Third Party Products"Where your problem may be related to product(s) from a third party vendor with whom we have a cooperative or collaborative relationship on such product(s), thenSymantec may work with that vendor towards resolving your reported problem. Where Symantec does not have such a support relationship in place with the third party

vendor, or where the vendor ceases to support such product(s), then our ability to support Symantec Licensed Software operating with such vendor's product(s) may belimited, affected, or prevented (and such third party product(s) may cease to be part of Symantec -supported configuration(s)). Symantec support may be limited by thehardware or software vendor due to their support lifecycle. Should a vendor announce End of Support for a product, Symantec support may be limited.

3. See TechNote #275107 for Solaris 10 considerations.


5. A failure may occur during Share Resource Tree creation and restore of Solaris 10-Update 8, BMR clients, on SPARC (sun4u as well as sun4v) and x64 processor

types. BMR is unable to create SRTs (Network as well as media) using the Solaris10-Update 8 media that Sun Microsystems recently released. In some cases, the SRTcreation works. However, a BMR restore of the Solaris 10-Update 8 client might not complete successfully, and result in an unusable system. If you encounter this typeof issue, use a Solaris 10, Update-7 SRT to perform a BMR-based restore of a Solaris 10, Update 8 server.

6. BMR Client and Boot Server support for Sparc-sun4v servers is available in the NetBackup 6.5.5 release. For support in previous NetBackup releases contactTechnical Support who can provide NetBackup 6.5.x EEBs for BMR in a sun4v environment.

7. BMR Client support began in NetBackup 6.0 MP4

8. BMR Client support began in NetBackup 6.5.5 with the following caveats, SVM based storage management, clients that use IDE/SATA disks, EMC-PP multipathing,SAN-Boot, NBAC.

page 56, Bare Metal Restore (BMR) 2010 Symantec Corporation / 2010-03-26


Bare Metal Restore (BMR)"General Information"

* Bare Metal Restore Server (BMR server) is a feature of the Master Server.* BMR 4.6 and 4.7 clients can use a NetBackup 6.0 server for backups, but must continue to use the BMR 4.x Servers for Bare Metal Restore functionality.

"BMR Boot Server"* BMR Boot Server is supported on the same Operating Systems as the BMR client. BMR Boot Server bitness is not relevant. I.E., a Windows x86 boot server can bootx86 and x64 servers and visa-versa.

"BMR Boot Server Requirements"1. The Boot Server must be of the same OS as the clients that are being recovered. The Master and Boot Server can reside on the same server without issue. You can

have multiple Boot Servers of the same OS registered to the Master Server.2. The Boot Server can only support clients at the same OS release or lower than it is.As an example, a Solaris 9 Boot Server can do Solaris 9 and Solaris 8 clients, but not Solaris 10. A Solaris 10 Boot Server can support all supported versions of Solaris

clients (SPARC hardware only).Windows 2003 Boot Server can do all supported Windows client versions (Windows 2000, XP, 2003). It is considered the highest OS release version.3. Boot Server should updated to the same NBU patch level as the Master Server. The Boot Server needs to be at the same NBU patch level or higher than the clients it

supports.

4. Solaris clients can only network boot to a Solaris Boot Server on the same sub-net. All other clients do not have this restriction.5. You must have a BMR Boot Server to create BMR bootable restore media. However, when using such media, a Boot Server is not required and is not part of the

restore process.
