With a Solaris (or other Unixy) master server, why fight the battle?
Simply push out new clients out to _all_ of your Solaris clients.
NetBackup will skip over the clients that are up to date and update
those that need it. The update to a Unixy client is trivial and usually
transparent although I am waiting for the 6.5 release where Symantec has
done a MUCH nicer job of handling client updates.
