Problem
The Late Breaking News Bulletin (LBN) has been created in order to provide customers updates on Documentation and Known Issues discovered post release. These documents attempt to highlight the most 'common' known issues and concerns reported by customers.
Note also that this collection of articles affect the appliance directly, but the NetBackup LBN (linked below) should also be referenced frequently for issues that may also impact the environments with an appliance, such as client/agent issues. A listing of patch downloads for the NetBackup Appliances can be found in TECH150251.
See Article TECH136970 for compability information on appliances.
