windows 2008 and install files

I am so confused......  (mainly becuse I am NOT a windows person - but have to deal with it because I do backups).

 

I have been trying to figure out just what files I need to setup a Windows 2008 servers.

 

I have gotten the follwoing.

 

NB_CLT-6.5.2.WIN2008SC.x86.exe

 

NB_6.5.2.WinX64_CD.exe

 

NetBackup_6.5.2_Win2008_x64.zip.

 

-------------------------------------------------

this is what my windows admin tells me.

 

may not start with any Server Core x86 but may have some in the future.

 

Will have a mix of both x64 and x86 (x86 as stated above may be a mix of SC and what I call Normal)

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

so once I upgrade my master to 6.5.2a I can start testing Windows 2008

 

but which do I install on what?

you see I do NOT have a x86 Normal, I only have an x86SC. 

the other two are both x64  are the both the same or different.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

I have already opened a call to support and that is where I got all this confusion.....

so I was just wondering if anybody else has figured out which files get installed on which servers?

I have a ticket open as well, here's what my support guy said:

 

Hi Seth,
 
Install the base 6.5 software first on the win 2k8 server then apply the patch 6.5.2A.
 
You can download the patch from the below given link.
 
 
Thank You

Hi 

 

NB_CLT-6.5.2.WIN2008SC.x86.exe   -----> Client exe under the CD or you can download it

NB_6.5.2.WinX64_CD.exe                -----> Netbackup CD with Netbackup Master/Media/Client bins

NetBackup_6.5.2_Win2008_x64.zip.   ---->  Netbackup zip with Netbackup Master/Media/Client bins (download file)

 

has you see any of the 3 version works for a client install, just be sure that you are using the 32/64bit option and during the install only select Install Netbackup Client and avoid any of the Master or Media server options.

 

Hope this helps.
