Please provide me the link to download netbackup 7.6 and its patch 7.6.0.4 for virtual master server ? I have got the link https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH223695.html but it is greyed out. I ma mainly looking for the patch 7.6.0.4
NBU installation is exactly the same on VM as on physical.
Please take note of recommendations and limitations over here:
Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x in a Virtual Environment: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127089
Not sure what exactly is greyed out?
If you have a Windows master server, you need to follow this link:
NB_7.6.0.4.winnt.x64.exe provides fixes for NetBackup (tm) 7.6[.0.1] on x64 Windows server and clients.
www.symantec.com/docs/TECH223735
In TECH223735, click on the 'Attachments' link for patch download.
See attached screenshot.
Oh! For base NBU 7.6 (7.6.0.1) software, start here:
Master Download List : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH65429
You will find a link that will tell you how to obtain a serial # for download from FileConnect:
To obtain NetBackup 7.6 GA (7.6.0.1) installation media: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH205704
The serial number can also be found on your licensing certificate.
Thanks a lot. That is what I was looking for.
I have the installation file and licence key for netbackup 7.6 for physical master server. So will it be same for the virtual master server as well ?

That means you could have clicked twice on the installer , another installing process is on-going. Try exit from this one, and make sure the other installer is moving.
If this is new setup, you can cancel it and try again.
Hi Watsons,
I have even rebooted the server but no luck.I could not see any other process running though.
Is your Windows 2008 server 32-bit or 64-bit?
NetBackup 'Server' can only be installed on a 64-bit system, as per SCL:
https://symwisedownload.symantec.com/resources/sites/SYMWISE/content/live/SOLUTIONS/76000/TECH76648/en_US/nbu_76_scl.html?__gda__=1432833213_eab12ca5fc34229a66efbd49f88c7cc0#operating_systems-microsoft_windows_server_2008
Hi sdo,
It is a 64-bit server
1) The v7.6.0.1 Release Notes:
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.DOC6138.html
...lists several KB that are required. Are they installed?
2) Also, the installation guide states that servers should be patched up to date (from Microsoft) before installing NetBackup. Has this been done?
3) Have you disabled AV checking for the install?
4) Did you run the 'environment checker' before attempting the install? Did it 'pass'?
5) Are you running the installer as 'administrator'?
This posting was about a NetBackup v7.5 install which failed with a 'return value 8':
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/windows-2008-nbu-client-upgrade-failed-656-7504
...and the OP marked a response as the solution, i.e. the post stating:
"...
The reboot should clear it up.
If not : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH130003
or http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH69876
