Support matrix for VBS
The following matrix lists the supported VBS versions on a tier depending on the versions of Management Server, VBS and Managed Hosts (MH) on the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager server.
Considerations for functionality introduced in VBS 7.0:
To be able to use the features introduced in VBS versions 6.1 and later, the Management Server (MS) and MH versions must all be 6.0 or higher on the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager server.
If a VBS comprises of tiers with VRTSvbs 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.1, and 7.0 versions, then the new features introduced in VBS 6.1 and later are not supported for that VBS.
If you are upgrading from VBS 6.0 or 6.0.1 to 6.1 or later, you must upgrade MH to 6.0 or higher before upgrading VBS.
Table: Support matrix for VBS
MS version | MH version | VRTSvbs version on first tier | VRTSvbs version on second tier | Supported VBS feature set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
6.0 or higher | 4.1 | 6.0/6.0.1 | 6.0/6.0.1 | 6.0 |
6.0 or higher | 5.0 | 6.0.1 | 6.0.1 | 6.0.1 |
6.0 or higher | 5.0 | 6.0 | 6.0.1/6.0 | 6.0 |
6.0 or higher | 6.0 or higher | 6.0 | 6.0/6.0.1/6.1 | 6.0 |
6.0 or higher | 6.0 or higher | 6.0.1 | 6.0.1/6.1 | 6.0.1 |
6.0 or higher | 6.0 or higher | 6.1 | 6.1 | 6.1 |
6.0 or higher | 6.0 or higher | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 |
