    Here i'm getting stuck, you ask me to install linux binaries in master server

    Correct. You can install client binaries for Linux, AIX, HP-UX. 

    If you cd to /usr/openv/netbackup/client on your master, you will see a whole lot of different folders for Client OS. You will probably have files under the Solaris sub-folders: 
    Solaris10 
    Solaris9 
    Solaris_x86_10_64

    I guess your Linux sub-folders will be empty, right?

    This means you can push-install client binaries for Solaris clients, not Linux (or other Unix versions).

    You can find instructions on how to install client software on your master in NBU Installation Guide. http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5154

    See Adding a UNIX client after initial server installation on p. 141.

    This section contains step-by-step instructions.

    Do this before you install patch 7.5.0.5 to ensure that the newly installed Linux binaries are also patched.

    Now you can run update_clients as per above extract from same Installation Guide.
