Updating NetBackup Client on Server

Running NBU 7.5.0.7 on RHEL 6.3.  Started with a base install of 7.1, then to 7.1.0.4, then 7.5, then 7.5.0.7.  The initial install and update completed without issue, so I went through the 7.5 and e...

    Have a look at the Client type in the policy. That is the version that the master will look for under /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/<OS version>.

    You can also list Client versions with: 
    bpplclients -allunique

    To find a specific client, do:
    bpplclients -allunique | grep <client-name>

    If  Linux, RedHat2.6 is listed, you should be able to update the policy by re-selecting Client type as Linux, RedHat2.6.18.

     

    The cat version shows NetBackup-RedHat2.6.18 7.5

    You will have to re-install the 7.5.0.7 Client patch with a 'force-install' option (-p).
    Run '
    /bin/sh NB_update.install -p

    So, to summarize: 

    1. Update Client type in policy
    2. Re-install 7.5.0.7 Client patch 
    (with -p option)
    3. Verify patch version in 
    /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/<OS version>.
    4. Push updated client patch to client(s).
