Veritas End of Life (EOL) announcement for NetBackup on Solaris Primary (Master) server and Media server
Description
Veritas would like to make you aware of the EOL (End of Life) for NetBackup Primary (Master) and Media servers running Solaris on SPARC and x86-64 architecture; this EOL does not apply to client support on this platform. NetBackup 9.1 which released on June 7, 2021 is the last release supporting NetBackup deployed on Solaris as a Primary server or Media server. You will need to migrate to a supported version prior to attempting to upgrade to the targeted release or any later releases.
Veritas is making this change to better align with our customers' current and future platform needs, increasing our speed to delivery while maintaining our high quality standards of the product, and finally decreasing risks associated with potential security concerns.
Customers who would like assistance moving to supported platforms can contact their Sales team to inquire about a Veritas Consulting Services engagement.
This platform will remain supported on older versions of NetBackup and will follow the published End of Support for Prior NetBackup Versions guidelines.
