updating the netbackup linux and windows clients
- 9 years ago
LiveUpdate is the quickest way. If you try a different method then you'll still need to work out which ports to use for said other method, becaus eyou still need to somehow copy the kits to the client. And you'll need to write some fairly complex code to handle all the different locations and flavours of clients. Why re-invent the wheel? Just use LiveUpdate. If your security team whinge, then plan to have the required ports open only for a short period of time during the change Window.

LiveUpdate is good because is handle both Windows and UNIX/Linux.
When you have a Linux Master Server you can use the update_clients script to update Linux/Unix clients, but not Windows.
