About the NetBackup Upgrade Portal
The NetBackup Upgrade Portal contains the necessary information and instructions for upgrades to version 10.1. The following is a link to the portal:
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100032801
You must perform an upgrade to NetBackup 10.1 as described in the portal documentation.
To help you plan and prepare for an upgrade to NetBackup 10.1, the following describes the important information that can be found on the portal:
Catalog backup
Before the upgrade, a catalog backup should be created to provide a backup of the catalog in case of a failed upgrade.
NetBackup Catalog Check (NBCC) utility for NetBackup 10.1.
Before the upgrade, the catalog should be checked to make sure that it is free of any inconsistencies that may cause the upgrade to fail. If the NBCC results show any catalog inconsistencies, you must seek assistance from Veritas Enterprise Support for additional guidance.
Catalog cleanup.
Your current NetBackup catalog must be free of any inconsistencies that may prevent a successful upgrade.
Upgrade to NetBackup 10.1
After the catalog cleanup and the NBCC results are declared as acceptable, begin the NetBackup 10.1 upgrade.
If you have any questions or concerns about the upgrade process for NetBackup 10.1, please contact Veritas Enterprise Support.
