Installing 6.5.4 on 32-bit 2008 and 2003 Servers

Jeff_K_

I am running 64-bit Windows 2008 Master and Media servers with NetBackup 6.5.4.  With the NetBackup Software that I have I can easily install 6.5.4 to 64-bit systems however I can't seem to find in software that would allow me to install NetBackup 6.5.4 directly to a 32-bit system.  Is this possible or will I have to install an earlier version and upgrade?  If it is possible can some one point me to the correct software?

All 6.5.4 links can be found here: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/326270.htm  
NB_6.5.4.winnt.x86.exe is about 1/3 down the page. (http://support.veritas.com/docs/326385)

You need to install 6.5 base software and then 6.5.4. Only x64 was released with new install media (CD Image NB_6.5.4.Winx64_CD.exe)
NB_6.5.4.winnt.x86.exe provides updates for NetBackup 6.5 on 32-bit Windows server and clients.

Do you need to follow the same upgrade path on 64-bit 2003 Server or can you install directly to 6.5.4?

64bit has its own media refresh so you can use it as a "base" install.

32bit you have to use 6.5 as your "base" and then apply the 6.5.4 release update.

(This is pretty much exactly what Marianne already said above.)

Hope that makes sense!

That is what I needed.  I just didn't know if there was a difference between 64-bit 2008 and 64-bit 2003 and you are saying there is not.  Thanks.

CD Image NB_6.5.4.Winx64_CD.exe can also be used for W2003 x64.
Extract from http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/326270.htm :
