Required operating system patches and updates for NetBackup
NetBackup server and client installations are only supported on a defined set of operating systems (OSs) that are listed in the NetBackup Compatibility Lists for All Versions. Most OS vendors provide patches, updates, and service packs (SPs) for their products. The best practice of NetBackup Quality Engineering is to test with the latest SP or update level of the OS when a platform is tested. Therefore, NetBackup is supported on all vendor GA updates (n.1, n.2, and so on) or SPs (SP1, SP2, and so on). However, if a known compatibility issue exists on a specific SP or updated OS level, this information is identified in the compatibility lists. If no such compatibility issues are noted, Cohesity recommends that you install the latest OS updates on your servers and clients before you install or upgrade NetBackup.
The most up-to-date required OS patch information for NetBackup 11.1.0.2 and other NetBackup releases can be found on the Cohesity Services and Operational Readiness Tools (SORT) website and in the NetBackup Compatibility Lists for All Versions. The compatibility lists include information about the minimum OS level that is required to support a minimum NetBackup version in the latest major release line. In some cases, new releases of NetBackup may require specific vendor OS updates or patches.
