Hello, We are aware that the flex OS version 3.0 is not compatible with NBU version 10.3.0.1 however we have this scenario that we are required to upgrade the NBU Primary/master server to version 10.3.0.1.The primary/master server is BYO (physical server, not an instance of that flex appliance) but the disk pool is one of the instance of that flex. If we proceed to upgrade the primary/master server, Do you know if the backup and restore will not be working after upgrade since they are not compatible? Note: We have currently issue with flex OS upgrade to the latest one that's why upgrade of OS is not possible right now.justjuls2 months agoLevel 313Views0likes1CommentFlex Appliance 5150 OS reimage
Hi, I have a unit of Flex 5150 which is already out of support. Someone before me had it totally wipe out, only left the IPMI boot shell. I'm trying to reinstall the flex OS for this machine. I have tried to follow the steps here https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/130821112-140800124-0/v141989313-140800124 , however it seems there are more steps than those listed in the link. Can someone give me some proper steps / guides to achieve this.din_ibrahim3 months agoLevel 345Views0likes2CommentsFeature Request - VMs Nutanix Protection Policy Backups to tape
Hi i did a successfull configuration of Nutanix Protection Plan on WebUI to protect some VMs on Nutanix Cluster Enviroment. When i´ve tried to select tape library as a secondary destination, for long term retention it´s not possible. According on the Veritas official documentation tape storage is not supported as final backup destination: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/130706365-133278127-0/v130721947-133278127 OpenStorage is required or S3 cloud repositories. My company cannot contract cloud services easyly, so we need backup VMs to tape for long-term retention. I would request the feature to do automatic Nutanix VMs backups from disk to tape.lportugal3 months agoLevel 1966Views0likes3CommentsExternal certificates for WebUI in appliance 5.1.1

Hello, I have a veritas appliance (no flex) 5240. It was a media server but it already decomissioned and I want to re-use it as primary server. I launched a "factory reset" and installed the ISO "NetBackup_Appliance_5.3_ML.iso" successfully. I configured the network and the name properly but when I launch the command "Main_Menu > Appliance > Primary" fails with this error: "Unable to configure the appliance as a primary server. This appliance was configured as a media serer with the preserved storage. Re-image the appliance again and configure it as a media server to reuse the preserved storage" I can't reset the storage because I don't see any option in the menu. Does someone any clue? Thanks in advance.SolvedSandra4Bck3 months agoLevel 3789Views0likes8Comments
