Third-party plug-ins for RHEL

Since all NetBackup appliances with version 2.6.1.2 and earlier use SLES version third-party plug-ins, upgrades to version 2.7.1 and later require use the appropriate RHEL versions to replace these plug-ins. The upgrade cannot proceed until all required RHEL third-party plug-ins are available in the preflight upgrade script.

Note:

The preflight upgrade script only identifies those plug-ins that are required for the upgrade. At the time when version 2.7.1 was released, some third-party vendors had not yet completed development of their RHEL equivalent plug-ins. Make sure to check those vendor websites periodically for any additional plug-ins that you may need.
