About the deployment policies utility
Deployment policies are the main component of VxUpdate that serves as a client or host upgrade tool. The deployment policy lets you configure and run deployment activities on a schedule or enable the host owners to upgrade at their convenience. You can schedule precheck, staging, and installation tasks as separate activities with different schedules, each with their own specific deployment windows.
For more information regarding VxUpdate, see the About VxUpdate section within the NetBackup Upgrade Guide.
Deployment policies are located in the NetBackup web UI under Hosts > Deployment Management. These policies provide the instructions that NetBackup follows to upgrade clients or hosts. Use this utility to provide the following instructions for a client or host upgrade:
|
What type of client or host to upgrade | |
Which clients or hosts to upgrade | |
|
When to perform VxUpdate | |
The security options to use for the clients or hosts |
