Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.1 Solaris Client Install

Any Solaris server will work. All you care about is that the client type matches so that the master bundles up the right pieces and ships it off to the target's /tmp directory.

That won't work if you can't get to the admin server from the master, will it? Or have I misunderstood you? I'm slowly getting there I think by stripping all the dross out of the ftp_to_client script.

Let it copy the tree over to the target but don't install it there. tar up the tree from /tmp and then you can put that on your central admin server for subsequent deployment. Copy tar tarball around, expand it on your remote server, and run the installer.
