Solved: Where is NetBackup client install file??

AGupta2012 · ‎07-17-2012

I have created a new Red Hat Linux 6 (64-bit) server and want to do a fresh install of NetBackup 7.5 client on this box. I am unable to find the client installation file in the download area. On the upgrade portal there is only one file available NetBackup_7.5_LinuxR_x86_64.tar.gz. This file installs the NetBackup server which I do not want. Where can I download the client install file from?

Our NetBackup admin could not find anything else. He opened a ticket with Symantec support but they keep pointing to links to install guide (which is useless by the way) and asking us to contact our sales rep. We are a major customer and have all licenses etc. Frustrated by poor support, I have decided to ask the community.

Thanks...

NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.1of3

NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.2of3

To join NetBackup 7.5 UNIX clients
----------------------------------

1. Download all similarly prefixed image files, for example, "_tar-gz.1of2" and
"_tar-gz.2of2".

2. Run the appropriate command to join the .tar.gz files together:

- On UNIX systems:
cat "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.1of3" "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.2of3" "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.3of3" > "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS.tar.gz"

- On Windows systems:
copy /b "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.1of3"+"NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.2of3"+"NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.3of3" "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS.tar.gz"

3. Use an md5sum command to ensure that your number matches the below provided
value.

md5sum NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS.tar.gz = 24844689e219d3c467e884fb5737101b

Also, the "Size" value is: XX GB (XX bytes)

NOTE: You can download the MD5sum utilities from many sites, choose one that
you trust.

4. After you have successfully joined the files, you are ready to uncompress the
packages.
