Microsoft Windows Installation
Table 26 on page 113 provides a list of NetWorker packages and the compressed and
uncompressed file sizes.
Location and disk space requirements
Before installing the NetWorker software, review the disk space and location
requirements. Table 27 on page 113 specifies the default location and space
requirements for the NetWorker software in a Microsoft Windows environment.
The
EMC NetWorker Software Compatibility Guide on the EMC Online Support Site
provides the most up to date information on supported operating systems.
Windows 2012 considerations
The NetWorker server, storage node, and client software does not support Windows 2012
R2 Foundation Edition as a guest operating system on Hyper-V.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj679892.aspx provides more information.
Windows 2008 requirements
Review these requirements before you install the NetWorker 8.1 and later software on a
Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 server:
◆ NetWorker 8.1 and later supports Windows 2008 64-bit and Windows 2008 R2 64-bit
as a NetWorker server, storage node, and client. NetWorker 8.1 and later supports a
Windows 2008 32-bit storage node and client.
◆ Use NetWorker Module for Micrsoft Applications to backup Hyper-V hosts.
◆ Enable Windows Error Reporting (WER).
WER replaces the Dr Watson user dumps used in earlier releases of Windows and
provides the ability to collect full User-Mode Dumps after an application crash. MSDN
describes how to configure WER to collect User-Mode Dumps.
