Install client to both nodes using their node names as regular clients (do not choose "perform clustered installation of NetBackup" during the installation)

Once you will have them installed, go to your master server and run these commands:

nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename virtual_name -machinetype app_cluster
where virtual_name is the virtual name of the application.

nbemmcmd -updatehost -add_server_to_app_cluster -machinename node_name -machinetype client -clustername virtual_name -netbackupversion 6.5 -masterserver master_name
where virtual_name is the virtual name of the application.

For more information see

Enhanced media server configuration

The only difference you need to make sure that you mention "client" and not "media" in the nbemmcmd -updatehost

I am going to perform a Local Client installation on the destination cluster server. What is procedure to install. I mean should I first install on active node then failover netbackup group to other node and install there. OR I should install staright forward on the active node and passive node?

NetBackup will contact the active host which is handling virtual IP address automatically.

You should not touch your cluster at all, you need to install these clients using their respective node names, and do the steps I mentioned in post above
