Upgrading clients after servers are upgraded: The update_clients installation script lets you push client software to clients. It does not let you push client software to a remote client that is also a NetBa ckup media or master server. You cannot push software this way because the serve r software and client binaries must be of the same version on a single host. The update_clients installation script can determine the full client list that i s configured on the server.When it is run without any parameters, it attempts to update all clients (as determined by /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplclients). If you do not want to upgrade all clients, you can specify a subset of clients. Use the hardware type and operating system parameters or use the -ClientList par ameter. You can run update_clients from a media server A Windows host can only push client software toWindows clients. A NetBackup UNIX server can only push client software to UNIX clients.
