Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5 linux client software help

We back up unix clients with Windows master and media servers. To my knowledge, there is no way to push a unix client from a windows master.
What I had to do was load the base 6.5 install from the CD, and download all the updates from Symantec. When we install a new client, I install
the base 6.5 client, and add the updates one at a time. From what I know you will need to get a copy of the 6.5 initial release CD. I was able to
get that from Symantec when we found that our original CD has missing files, the engineer gave me a link to download from
ize is about 375 Meg. I have all the files on a Solaris server that I NFS mount and run the scripts from there. There are all UNIX clients
on the CD.

You may get other opinions. But this works for us.

Subject	[Veritas-bu] 6.5 linux client software help

Guys i'm being put under pressure by management to assist in a system, i've had nothing to do with design and build, to get a linux redhat client installed for NBU 6.5 As far as i can ascertain the master/media is a windows server. I'm a solaris engineer and know if the master were unix i could simply push the correct client software out to the linux client. With windows i assume this is not possible?? Which brings me to where to i get the linux 6.5 client software from? I don't have the media. On the symantec site i see various patches for 6.5.1 CLT containing all the client binaries, but this is normally installed on the unix server isn't it? Can this just be installed on a linux client as is with no previous version on it? Any pointers would be appreciated Dave _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT eduhttp://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
