You have to patch the netbackup server with the client
patch set at MP2 or MP3 or better to pick up intel, amd support of
x86.
Then you should be able to pick the SPARC or x86 intel
or x86 amd binaries. The last two may be the same binaries, I did not
check but the support comes in a different patch levels.

I realize that I am going to have to run NBU 5.1 MP2+ to
support Solaris 10 X86. But I don't think the Solaris binaries are the
same.
If I read your email correctly, are you saying that I can
install the NBU 5.1 Solaris 10 Client (which I think have) then apply patch MP2
(or better) and whalla the binaries are X86 compatible? I'm running under
the assumption that the Solaris 10 SPARC and Solaris 10 X86 binaries are 100%
different animals and are not cross compatible.
Is this not correct?

Hello Jonathan,
Please look at this url for netbackup support for os levels
using version 5.1
If I read this correctly you should be able to download and
apply a 5.1 patch to support x86 solaris, with a "readme" or limits on the
support.

Here
is my dilemma.
We're
a NBU 5.1 shop. We're not under maintenance, so upgrading to NBU 6.0 is
out of the question. We recently added a Solaris 10 X86 client to the
network which I now have to backup. Unfortunately, this is out first
Solaris 10 X86 client, so I don't have the correct client software. I
called our reseller who told me they don't sell 5.1 anymore, but did offer me a
6.0 trial key. Then I called Symantec who told me to buy the 6.0
license, then call the North America customer service center, who
would downgrade the license key to 5.1 for me. Ok, that's all fine and
dandy, but WHERE IS THE CD WITH THE CLIENT SOFTWARE?! No one gives a flip
about the license keys, I need the software, which "Symantec doesn't sell
anymore." Any ideas? My reseller is clueless (as usual) and
now Symantec seems to be confused.
1 -
Does the current Solaris client work on X86 (I'm sure the answer is no, but I'll
ask anyway.)
2 - Does the 6.0 Client include the 5.1 client?
3 - Does anyone have a tar they can send me with the Solaris 10 X86
client?
