[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 7.6 for RHEL 7 Linux Kernel 3.0 native client support
How do we get this. So far as we can tell despite documentation to the contrary as detailed below we are still only seeing Linux Kernel 2.6 support in our 7.6 installation. We had found technote some time ago while still running NetBackup 7.1: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH184987.html That essentially says that the Linux Kernel 3.0 wasn't directly supported so one must run uname26 against the install for it to work. We did that and it worked. We have since upgrade to NetBackup 7.6.1 and on trying to install a new RHEL7 client we had the same issue as we'd had with 7.1 and again were able to do the uname26 workaround. However, the above technote says that as of NetBackup 7.5 the 3.0 kernel would be natively supported. Additionally the OS compatibility list at: http://origin-symwisedownload.symantec.com/library/BUSINESS/xCL/TECH76648/nbu_76_scl.pdf Shows that RHEL7 is supported as a client as of 7.6.0.2. Despite this we still only see the redhat2.6 clients as available and we're wondering how do we get native redhat3.x client (with 2.6 and 3.x being kernel rather than RHEL versions of course)?

In the OS compatibility list, look for the section “Client Selections for Backup Policies” and you’ll see the following: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 x86-64 Linux,RedHat2.6.18 Neil On Apr 23, 2015, at 8:29 AM, Lightner, Jeff jlight...@dsservices.com wrote: How do we get this.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 7.6 for RHEL 7 Linux Kernel 3.0 native client support
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. RHEL7 does NOT come with a 2.6 kernel. It comes with a 3.x kernel and that was the reason I was posting. We DID install the 2.6 client because it is the only one then we had to setup the uname26 to make it work.What we want is a 3.x native client so we don't have to setup uname26. There is nothing in the compatibility for NetBackup 7.6 that even suggests uname26 is still required and as I previously posted the technote says that as of 7.5 it SHOULD have native support. My question is NOT How do I read the link I sent?. My question is Where is the client to use for RHEL7's 3.x kernel?
