NetBackup Client (7.1) don't install in RedHat 6.3
Hi folks,
I'm trying to install a Client (7.1) in a RedHat 6.3. When the installation begins, it asks me which version of Linux I'm trying to install, as if it don't recognizes it as a RedHat. Even choosing RedHat Linux, it begins to decompress the files, registering in Live Update, but it ends there and don't install.
When I put the uname -a command, it don't says it is a RHEL, it only says a bunch of numbers (where I think it's kernell version).
As for the Record, there isn't any previous version of netbackup installed in this RedHat.
Someone knows what I am doing wrong?
Manage to solve the problem,
Manage to solve the problem, it was garbage in the server.
But when I try to upgrade to 7.5.0.4 it asks for a Vrts.README, but, this readme don't comes along with the package.

I appreciate all the responses but haven't found any solution yet.
What Marianne said about the problem in SF seems similar, maybe even be the same problem. If that's the case, will NetBackup 7.5 work on this RHEL version?
We are planning an update for the next weeks, but we are afraid about not having a backup.
We need Symantec to confirm
