Pushing a *nix client for a *nix master via jnbSA

[Zak_Meekins_2]

Hey Fellas,
I am  trying to push *nix clients out via the admin gui (select client - right click - install unix client software) it always fails.

All of my *nix hosts have shared keys setup and we only allow 22 and no other ports to and from the Linux master. Has anyone ever monkeyed with the script that pushes the client out to use ssh only?


Thanks.

and are they matching unix's (unixs unixies...)

If I have an AIX master, then I know I can push to aix clients,
but in order for me to push to a MAC or a Lnuix I need to have put the client 1 or client 2 on my master so I could push.

so are you just wanting to know how to get it to use ssh or are you getting an error you can show us when it fails?

Hey J.*
I at this point just want to get it to use ssh, i have all of the clients installed on my master. Here is the error i get currently

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files: line 12: install_client_files: command not found
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files: line 12: ALL: command not found

This is the real error:
Software installation on irvws030 failed.
Software installation messages:

Hi Zak
The GUI uses rsh only. If you want to use ssh, you will have to do it from cmd.

ssh method as per Unix install Guide:
■ To move software to only one client at a time, run the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ssh client
The client is the host name of the client.
■ To move software to all clients at once, run the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ssh ALL The ALL option specifies that you want to install all clients that are configured in any backup policy on the server.

Thanks for the response, the provided install scripts work great but I want to pass this off to monkeys that dont have access to the master server. I thought there was a hack to get the GUI to use ssh / scp.


Thanks.
