Please start with Compatibility Guide - 7.x is supported on 64-bit Linux only.

Master Compatibility List: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH59978

NetBackup 7 Operating System (CL) for Client,Server,Dedupe,OpsCenter,BMR,SAN Client,MSEO:    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76648

It will be a good idea to upgrade your OS as well as RHEL 4 will not be supported for much longer (not supported as from 7.5).

Rather skip 7.0 and upgrade to 7.1. See Upgrade Portal (link in previous post as well):  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH74584
