About pushing client software from a master server to clients
You can increase the speed of client installation by pushing the software from the master server to the clients. This method eliminates the need for a local installation at each client.
The following describes how to prepare your NetBackup environment for client software installation from the master server.
Install the client type software on the master server. Be sure to install all of the client types that pertain to your NetBackup configuration.
Before you can push client software from the master server, each client name must be assigned to a NetBackup policy. Policies are created on the master server.
When you create a policy, you must identify the policy type, which indicates the operating system on the clients that are assigned to that policy. Without a policy, the remote installation (or push) fails because the master server does not know the operating system of the client.
For information on how to create NetBackup policies, refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
After the required policies are created, you can push client software from the master server to the clients.
