NetBackup Administration Console and JRE installation optional for some computers
The NetBackup Administration Console is optional on all NetBackup primary servers, media servers, and client computers. The JRE package is required on NetBackup primary servers, but optional for all media servers and client computers.
As with previous releases, the JRE package is installed by default on NetBackup primary servers because it's required. The NetBackup Administration Console and the JRE are not part of the default installation on Windows clients. Install the Java Remote Administration Console if you require this functionality on your Windows clients.
The various NetBackup installation methods allow the user the choice to install or not install the NetBackup Administration Console on all NetBackup computers. Additionally, users can install or not install the JRE packages on NetBackup media servers and client computers. More information about installing the NetBackup Administration Console and the JRE after install or upgrade is available.
