Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 5.1 Windows master at 32 bit and NetBackup 5.1 media servers at 64 bit

2006-05-31 Thread Scott Jacobson


Ed,

You may want to take another peek at the 5.x OS compatibility list.

http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/263839.pdf

at the top of page3 (ending on page 5) there are listsfor several flavors of Linux OSthat are compatible with 5.1 "servers" (which also includes media servers) using, among others, AMD64based systems.

I'm currently using an HP DL385 AMD64 Opteron based system as a media server at 5.1 MP4 with no problems or issues.

Regards,

The question was about support for 64-bit Windows and if you read the
documented you pointed to, you'll see that 64-bit binaries on 64-bit
Windows is *NOT* supported for servers with 5.x.  You can run 32-bit
Windows on a 64-bit machine but that's not what the original posted
asked.  64-bit NetBackup server binaries on 64-bit Windows requires 6.x.

 This is not supported.  64-bit is only supported for clients on 5.1,
 not
 media servers.  To have 64-bit media servers, you'll need to upgrade
 to
 6.0.  This is what we're doing for the same reason...
