Installing NetBackup agent on a 64bit Windows Server

[JerseyCane]

I am using NetBackup 5.1 MP3 and want to install the agent on a 64bit Windows 2003 server.

Can someone please let me know where I can find the agent for a 64bit server ?

I might already have it and am not looking in the right place also.

Any help is always appreciated.

On 5.1, MP4 is the first pack available as 64-bit and is a full agent install.  Make sure you don't have the 32-bit version installed before applying the 64-bit version though.

Got it, thanks.

Any reason that anyone knows of why I shouldn't go straight to MP 7 from MP 3 ?

Is MP4, 5 or 6 more stable, less issues ?

Kerry,

I've installed MP 7 on my Windows 2000 NB 5.1 MP 3 server succesfully.

What are the steps to install the 64bit agent on a Windows 2003 64bit server ?

The install process is the same for both platforms you only need to be sure that you are using the correct platform version, but doesnt change at all.

Where / how do I get the agent for the 64 bit platform ?
