Possibilities: 
1) Take a look at whether you can use the
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files script to rsh or ftp the
files to the clients. 
1a) Hack the install_client_files script to use scp and sftp if you need
to bypass a firewall or don't allow unsecured protocols like rsh/rcp. 
 
2) If you can't go to them directly, run install_client_files and ftp
the files to a server close to your Master (can't be a Master or Media
though). Then make a tarball up of the /tmp/bp directory and copy THAT
over to your client. 
 
3) Last choice: copy over one at a time the 125-ish files that make up
the NetBackup client for Solaris 8, making sure you put them all into
the right place with the right permissions. And add the /etc/services
entries needed. 
 
I really recommend options 1 or 2 though, if for no other reason than
they'll build clients that are patched to whatever level your Master is.
If you absolutely have to do option 3 for some other reason, shoot me a
note offline and I'll get you something that might help.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Solaris client software


What part of the Veritas NetBackup 5.1 for Solaris install CD is needed
to install the client software on a Solaris server.
 
In other words: Instead on inserting the Installation CD in the client
(which is sometimes not possible --> geographically speaking) what files
are needed (minimum) to be able to install the client software on a
Solaris server (so I can copy those files over and install it) ?
