Installing client type software on a primary server
Client type software must be installed on the primary server to perform the following operations:
Assign clients to NetBackup policies so that those clients can be backed up.
Install (or push) client software from the primary server to clients.
For each UNIX client type, the client installation script lets you install the client software onto the primary server. You can then install (or push) the client software from the primary server to the clients.
To install client type software on a primary server
- Log in to the server as root.
- Navigate to where the ESD images (downloaded files) reside and enter the command shown:
./install
- When the following message appears, press Enter to continue:
