I never had much luck with the secure client method. One of the techs at
Veritas sent me the following procedure and it works great for our
environment. I use it for Solaris and Linux clients.
Procedure to Install NetBackup on Clients That Do Not Allow FTP Nor RSH
This procedure uses Solaris as an example, it also works for other
platforms.
1. From the Master, do an FTP client install to a Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8
client
that WILL allow FTP. Do NOT run '/bin/sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config' on
that client, it is only being used to create a tar file of the software.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ftp clientname username
Substitute the name of the client in place of "clientname" and substitute
a valid username on the client in place of "username".
2. Login to that client and make a tar file of the Solaris client software.
This tar file can be used to install NetBackup on Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8.
cd /tmp
tar cvpf solarisclient.tar bp
3. Copy the tar file to /tmp on the client on which you wish to install
NetBackup, using SCP or another allowed method.
scp solarisclient.tar client:/tmp
4. Login to the client on which you wish to install NetBackup, using SSH or
another allowed method. Become root using 'su'. Extract the tar archive
and then install NetBackup by doing this on the client:
cd /tmp
tar xvpf solarisclient.tar
/bin/sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config
5. Verify that the client's bp.conf has the correct CLIENT_NAME. Edit the
bp.conf if necessary.
cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
Repeat steps 3 - 5 for all Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8 clients that need NetBackup
installed.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] client installation on Solaris
Hi,
I have a simple task of adding a new client machine.
I cannot use push method because r-services are disabled for security
reasons.
I cannot use local install method--there is no way to insert a CD into a
machine
20 miles away.
The only method left is Installing NetBackup Software on Secure UNIX Clients
(p.15
Installation Guide)
OK, it says to use the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ftp client user
where client is the hostname of the client.
When I run this comamnd it requires client to be the architecture of the
client,
and not the hostname.
So, what's the right way to install NetBackup client?
