You do NOT need the CLT file (it contains the updates for all unix 
platforms and is installed on a unix server so the NBU/DC server can 
update the clients directly (in some environments)).

You do use the other two, in the order you have given.

The initial HP-UX install may have one "gotcha", as I recall. Here's the 
directions I pass on to my Unix machine owners (out of some NBU/DC doc) ...

1. Insert the NetBackup CD-ROM into the drive on the client computer.

    HP systems only: Because the NetBackup CD-ROM is Rockridge formatted,
    it must be mounted by entering the following commands:

       nohup pfs_mountd &
       nohup pfsd &
       pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/device-ID /cdrom

    Where device_ID is the ID of your CD-ROM drive.

2. Change your working directory to the CD-ROM directory:

       cd cd_rom_directory

    Where cd_rom_directory is the path to the directory where you can
    access the CD-ROM.  On some platforms, it may be necessary to mount
    the directory.

3. Start the install program.

       ./install

4. Choose option 2, NetBackup Client Software.

    Note The choices provided for OS level represent the OS Level on
    which the binaries were compiled.  Often the binaries will function
    perfectly on newer versions of the operating system.  For example,
    Solaris 2.6 binaries also are used on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 levels
    of the operating system.  So, if you wish to install on a Solaris 8
    system, choose the Solaris 2.6 binaries.

5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

6. On HP systems only to unmount the CD-ROM:

    Execute the pfs_umount command
    Use the kill command to kill the following processes:

       pfs_mountd
       pfsd
       pfs_mountd.rpc
       pfsd.rpc

Hope this helps, wayne
