Hi
We have the Master server on a Windows server and a Media Server on AIX 7.1. We want to update all the Unix Netbackup (Solaris/AIX/Linux) clients version from 7.5.0.5 to 7.6.0.3. I want to update the Netbackup clients version using “update_clients" script from Media server.
is this possible to update Netbackup clients from 7.5.0.5 to 7.6.0.3 directly.
what Netbackup client binaries I need to store on media server to update Netbackup clients directly from 7.5.0.5 to 7.6.0.3.
Can some one share the process of updating Netbackup clients by using “update_clients" script.
Thank you,
Sree

You will need to replace AIX53 in ClientList with AIX6 and add -ForceInstall to the update_clients command.
NBU OS Compatibility Guide says Client selection for NBU 7.6.x should be:
RS6000,AIX6
Herewith my own experience with update_clients:

You'll have to upgrade to v7.6.0.1 first as this is a 'base install kit', and then update to v7.6.0.3 using a patch kit.
This link should help re the update_clients script:
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH19407.html
.
Why would you not go to v7.6.0.4 ?

I have tried to update the Netbackup client version from 7.5.0.5 to 7.6.0.1 from media server (AIX) with update_clients script, but is failing with below error. Please guide me.

There are 1 clients to upgrade.
The upgrade will likely take 1 to 3 minutes.
Do you want to upgrade clients now? [y,n] (y)
Please be patient.
