Installing netbackup client without binaries
We have a disaster recovery site a few states away that recently had 2 servers rebuilt (linux redhat 2.6). I've been tasked with getting the backups going on them.
I've attempted to install the clients from the GUI, but the binaries aren't available.
I think it should be possible to copy the software over from another server and then modify the config files. -but I'm not having any luck getting the services running on the 'new' server.
Is what I'm attempting a good idea? Have any of y'all done something like this before? Can you give me any advice?
Thanks!
You can try this trick too.

what we've done is copy directory contents to the client
/usr/openv/netbackup/client/<ClientOS>
then run this on the client
cd /usr/openv/netbackup/client/<ClientOS>
./cp_to_client <MASTERNAME> <CLIENTNAME>
