About installing NetBackup Administration Console and client software
You can use two different methods to install the NetBackup client software on the clients that you want to back up. You can install NetBackup client software on clients as follows:
Use CIFS and NFS shares and run scripts to install the software silently.
Depending on the operating system, you run the quickinstall.exe script or the unix-client-install script. This is a silent install. The scripts do not prompt you for any user-related questions. They automatically update the NetBackup configuration on the client with the appliance server name as the Master server.
Select a link on the appliance login page to download the packages and install the software.
On the appliance login page, you can click on the link to download a package that contains the NetBackup Administration Console and the NetBackup client software.
You can also elect to download and install the NetBackup Administration Console. To download and install the client software, you perform the following functions:
Choose the client type that you want to install.
Select the software package to download.
Unzip or untar the package.
Run the install (UNIX) or setup.exe (Windows) script.
Update the NetBackup configuration on client with the Master Server information (for example, bp.conf on UNIX systems).
See Installing NetBackup client software through CIFS and NFS shares.
