the answer is, you do both. :-)
here's my rendition of the information that's a little bit unclear in
the technote you reference above:
"server" patches
================
- e.g. NB_45_3_M.solaris_XXXXXXX.tar
- contains the nbu binaries that a SERVER requires (daemons, goodies, etc)
- must be installed (via Vrts_install.pack) on master and each media
- installation of this patch is reported in the "pack.summary" file
"client" patches
================
- e.g. NB_CLT_45_3_M_YYYYYYY.tar
- contains the nbu client binaries for EVERY supported Unix platform
- extracts the nbu client binaries into the master server's "depot" location
- must be installed (via Vrts_install.pack) on master server
- installation of this patch is reported in the "pack.summary" file
client binaries
===============
- e.g. /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Solaris/Solaris8 on master server
- includes the nbu binaries that a CLIENT requires (bpbkar, bpmount, etc)
- installation of this patch IS NOT reported in the "pack.summary" file
- can be installed via local cdrom on the client system...
but most people install via the "update_clients" script on the
master, which reads the files from the master server's
/usr/openv/netbackup/client directory and copies them over to the
client system.
