Can not find NetBackup 4.5 Maintenance Pack 6 for Windows 1

[jescobedo]

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for NetBackup 4.5 Maintenance Pack 6 image for Windows 2000/NT, but in Symantec Support site it's not available anymore. Who of you guys can tell me how to get it?

Thank you!

Hi Stumpr,

I already enter that link, but there are only MP6 for Unix, and one Special Maintenance Pack 6 for Windows (NB_45_6_M_S1406_265040.winnt.intel.exe, 1799 KB), but what I need is the NBU 4.5 MP6 CD Image for Windows, because I can not apply all patches without installing MP6 first.

My server is:
Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4.
Netbackup BusinesServer 4.5 GA

You can try:

http://fileconnect.symantec.com

But you will need your Serial number.

I do not recall seeing 4.5 files but my serial numbers are v6.0

Are you sure about this? Netbackup maintenance packs are supposed to be cumulative and include the earlier MP's.
i.e.
MP8 = MP7 + MP6 + MP5 + MP4 + MP3 +MP2 + MP1
MP7 = MP6 + MP5 + MP4 + MP3 +MP2 + MP1

Check the README.txt

Stumpr,

Because in MP7, MP8, MP9 states the following:

=================
PACK DEPENDENCIES
=================

-- 4.5 MP6 must be installed prior to installing this Maintenance Pack.

Sources:

MP9

MP8

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/273645.htm

I understand that is necesary the MP6 first.

I had no luck either... went to:
ftp://ftp.entsupport.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_BusinesServer/00_index.htm

It does not list the MP6 for windows.... hmmmm

I have an unused copy of 4.5 Fp6 if you need it.

Shoot me an email at rvela@ercot.com

 

[Frbutler]

I think he needs MP6 not FP6 ... or are they the same?

 

[Vela]

Your right. No, they weren't the same..They aren't doing FP vs. MP anymore...thank god

 

[smjrp01]

mp6 for windows was a complete installation. You no longer needed to do the base installation.

If memory serves me correct, and it was a long while ago. You had to install MP6, before 7 & 8.

Also i seem to remember bad memories of lots of bpbkar32.exe hanging around this sorta patch...could be wrong.
