Getting error while updating client through update_client script

Yes i tried to update a client with RHEL 5 and it worked.

For Solaris is there any specific consideration for updating to NBU 7.6.

One more query Ram,

Is there any impact of updating production client.

I mean does it impact any other applications running on server or any kind of server realted issues if any you have experienced.

As of now i havent faced any issue with updating client, but still just asking for confirmation. 

for solaris check the compatablity before you try to upgrade link in my above post could help you to check the compatablity.

and if you are pushing the upgrade form the master and media server you need to make sure that the client /tmp FS has enough space.. if /tmp FS does not have enough space it could fill up 100% and could lead issues with the application and server.

I am late to this discussion....

This is what I had typed up earlier today:

What is in Client's /usr/openv/netbackup/version?

Are you using a ClientList file or just updating with update_clients command to update all clients in one go?

If ClientList - what does the hardware and OS fields look like?

Have you verified client version in the policy with the  Client Selections for Backup Policies  section of the OS SCL?

This Client selection is different between versions. You need to update the Policies and/or ClientList file with correct hardware and OS selection.

********************

About Solaris Client software:

You need to install the base client software for Solaris (and other *nix Clients) on the master server - instructions in NetBackup Installation Guide  - followed by re-installation of NBU Client patch on the master.

Once the client software is installed on the master, you can use update_clients to update all *nix clients.
 

Hi Mairanne,

Client version is 

bash-3.00$ cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version
NetBackup-RedHat2.6 7.1.0.3

bash-3.00$ uname -a
Linux xxxx 2.6.9-106.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 11:23:56 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

From Linux media server , client binaries version is 

bash-4.1$ cd /usr/openv/netbackup/client/
bash-4.1$ cd Linux/RedHat2.6.18/
bash-4.1$ cat version
NetBackup-RedHat2.6.18 7.6.0.1

As per link provided by you, i could see RHEL 4, is not supported by 7.6.0.1.

Goin through the compatibilty guide, i am listing supported/not-supported hardware.

Is your update_client issue resolved or do you need further assistance?

Hi Marianne,

I have upgraded few Linux clients to 7.6.0.1 running RHEL 5/6.

I have one query, now i am upgrading Solaris client to 7.6.0.1.

in Solaris master server. i have below bianries installed for Solaris 

Solaris_x86_10     Solaris_x86_10_64  Solaris_x86_8      Solaris_x86_9      Solaris10

When i tried updating one client with following Solaris10 in update_client script, i got below error

Detected an attempt to install incorrect platform and/or
         operating system and version client binaries on PDX20LDPUT001.

However when i tried with parameter Solaris_x86_10_64, it worked, not sure how as Both the binaries have same version installed.

Just would like to confirm if i am going right, so that i can upgrade rest of the client, or please guide me on correct method.

Thank you Marianne for the update.

One more query, what should be minimum approximation /tmp space required for upgrade.
