    Presume it is x86

    NBU 7.0 is the minimum level that will run.

    Compatability guide doesn;t mention . release, so 5.11 will be fine.

    The x86 RH5 there is a limitation if using BMR

     

    BMR Client/Boot Server support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 begins with NetBackup 7.0. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 GA through Update 7 are supported. Update

    8 and Update 9 are supported and require NetBackup 7.5.0.5 or later. Update 10 are supported and requires NetBackup 7.6.0.3 or later.
     
    There is no mention of RH 5.11   - so it's probably not been tested, and therefore is technically unsupported, but may still work.
