DDBoost version for NBU 8.0?
NetBackup 8.0 has been GA since Dec 1, 2016.
Can't find any info about compatibility for NetBackup 8.0 with DD OS 6.0 or a DD Boost version.
Support offered to RPQ it, but I can't be the only one looking for this info.
Does anyone know when there will be a GA version of DD Boost for NetBackup 8.0?
Or possibly when the e-Lab Navigator will be updated with current info?
Thanks in advance,
Kat

It's good to know that NBU 8.0 may be certified soon. That's a good first step.
Hopefully, DD Boost for OST is also being tested.Veritas NBU appliances which are shipping now will run the 3.0 image bundle, which is Red Hat Linux and NBU 8.0.
The OST plug-in is available for it.The NBU appliance is a refresh alternative for customer accounts in which a DD670, DD860, etc is EOL but not EOPS yet..

Just received an update from EMC Support. The compatibility guide was just updated for DDBoost & DD OS 6.0 with NBU 8.0

Currently it is not supported, but I do not know reasons. It is two-way relationship of course. Normally it takes 2-3 months to verify new product, but since both companies had some changes (Netbackup departing from Symantec and EMC joining Dell) I hope it is not bureaucracy that is holding it...
