You can create the policy in NetBackup and use that screen to push to the clients you’re installing. That assumes you’ve opened up connection to the clients.
You’d want separate policies for AIX, RHEL and Windows of course.
I don’t know how many clients you can push to that way at once though.
Here we typically don’t push but rather do it via command line but we don’t have 5000 servers. Are you going to user desktops vs servers in that 5000 count
by any chance? If so I’d focus on servers first then do desktops (if ever – here we don’t back up desktops – we reload in the event of failure).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Clients : Mass Install
Hello All,
Let say we have our master server on solaris 10 (sprac architecture) and Media servers on Redhat and AIX and windows.
Now we need to install NetBackup clients on 5000 server with mixed OS linux, windows etc.
What is the best way to install clients ?
I know we can push through SCCM (in windows ) and puppet (in linux) is there any other better way to do it ?
Anurag
