The "NetBackup 6.0 Release Impact Bulletin" (
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/278132.htm) says :

---
The duplicate definition of a Linux client is no longer being created.
VERITAS has been providing a duplicate definition for Linux clients. This
allowed the user to define a client as INTEL/Red Hat2.4 or Linux Red Hat2.4=
.
The
ability to do this is being removed in NetBackup 6.0 and only Linux Red Hat
will
be used.
Note VERITAS suggests you update any existing policies containing clients
configured as "INTEL Red Hat2.4" to "Linux Red Hat2.4".
