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?
 
-Jonathan
