I'm going to upgrade SF from 4.1 to 5.0 on a server that is also a NetBackup 6.5.3.1 media server.  When I run the precheck I get notified that the currently installed versions of VRTSpbx and VRTSicsco are newer than the versions to be installed with SF 5.0.  Will SF 5.0 work with these newer packages?  Below are the versions.   Any help is appreciated.

Netbackup 6.5.3.1 (currently installed) - VRTSpbx 1.3.25.8, VRTSicsco 1.3.25.4

SF 5.0 (to be installed, packages will not be installed) - VRTSpbx 1.3.17.0, VRTSicsco 1.3.18.0

Thank You!

Hello, Well that's a really

Hello,

Well that's a really tricky one to answer...

Honestly speaking I have seen people keeping their existing packages & not replacing them... that works...

In case you are not using Veritas Security services or else VRTSvail agent or VEA GUI for volume manager (thats what I remember from top of my head), I guess shouldn't be any problem...

Hope this helps...

Re: vias.symantec.com can help

VIAS (  vias.symantec.com/vias/vias ) can assist with upgrade operations. It is not yet integrated with NBU components but it will help you with all SF related packages and requirements.

VRTSicsco and VRTSpbx packages are currently installed.

Allow the upgrade to continue.
