Hello,
I am trying to upgrade a Red Hat Ent 5 Linux server with Netbackup Media server to 7.5. The os is 64 bit (2.6.18-128.el5 X86_64 GNU/Linux) . I have downloaded the following file from symantec Netbackup_7.5_LinuxR_x86_64.tar.gz. When I run the installer it tells me the following:
The Netbackup and Media Manager software is built for use on LINUX_RH_X86 hardware.
Netbackup is currently at release level 7.1
This package will install release level 7.5
Do you want to reinstall Netbackup and Media Manager?
The install package contains a folder with the name LINUX_RH_X86 as well. This is a bit confusing. The install PDF from Symantec says that since version 7 32 bit is not supported anymore. So am I using the correct version of netbackup software for this system.
Is the reference above about the general CPU architecture (X86 meaning Intel) or a reference that it is 32 bit?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You are using the correct version. X86 is just to differentiate from the IA64 (Itanium) version.
