Manually initiating deployment jobs with a policy
You can manually initiate a deployment policy based on an existing policy. Manually initiate deployment policies when you are logged into the server locally and need to force an immediate update. Or you can initiate an immediate upgrade for emergency binaries.
Use the option to initiate a deployment job manually.
To manually initiate a deployment policy from the administration console
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, navigate to Deployment Management > Deployment Policies.
- In the middle pane, expand the primary server, and select the policy you want to run.
- Right-click on the policy you want to start, and select Manual Deployment.
- Alternatively, after selecting the policy you want to run, you can select Actions > Manual Deployment.
- In the Manual Deployment dialog box, select the schedule and the hosts that you want to upgrade.
If you do not select any hosts, NetBackup upgrades all hosts.
- Click OK to start the manual deployment job.
You can also perform manual deployment using the command line option. For more information, refer Manually initiating deployment jobs with a policy section within the NetBackup Upgrade Guide.
