I used to package the HP-UX and AIX Netbackup Client into Software
Distributor so that we could install it via swinstall on our HP-UX and AIX
machines. If there exist a Solaris version of SD, than you could do the
same for Solaris machines. Check out the HP site to find more information
of SD.

The previous note is correct on how NB installs to Unix but you can also
sneak the NB client in with a tarball.


Tar the /usr/openv/netbackup directory from a matching OS client and untar
on the new client in the same place.  Change the bp.conf entry for the
CLIENT to the new client name.


Add the NB entries to /etc/services & /etc/inetd.conf, HUP the inetd daemon
and it should work.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] packaging of NBU clients?





(I'm a new user of NBU/DC 4.5 on a Solaris v880; previous experience
with IBM TSM)


How do people install and upgrade the client software for NBU?


Does anyone repackage clients on the net? It appears that veritas
expects you to run around with the set of CDs, install client, and then
download and install patches (MP2).  Does anyone just setup a local
redistribution of already patched software in an installable file? It
would seem so much more efficient for veritas to do this, maybe I'm
missing something?


Thanks and cheers, wayne
