Update host

The Update host option lets you launch immediate jobs to update or upgrade your NetBackup environment.

After you select Hosts > Host properties and make one or more valid selections, the Update host option appears in the upper right. Certain restrictions apply to the use of the Update host option:

  • All computers you select must be of the same type. Select either all client computers or all media servers. If you select mixed computer types, the Update host option disappears.

  • Primary servers are not supported. If you select a primary server, the Update host option disappears.

  • The operating system and versions column must contain data for the Update host option to appear. If these columns do not contain data, attempt to connect to the host.

After you specify computers to update, select Update host to launch the update process. You are prompted for the information shown:

  • Attributes

    On this screen, specify: The package you want deployed, the operation type, any limit on concurrent jobs, and how to handle Java and the JRE.

    See Attributes tab in Deployment management.

  • Hosts

    Displays the hosts you want to upgrade. From this screen, you can remove hosts.

    See Hosts tab in Deployment management.

  • Security options (if it appears)

    Either accept the default (Use existing certificates when possible) or specify the appropriate security information for your environment.

    See Security options tab in Deployment management.

  • Review

    Displays all the options you selected on previous screens.

Select Update to start the deployment job.
