You need BOTH Client and Java patch.
See this extract from http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH139088 :
(REQUIRED) NB_CLT_7.0.1.tar provides updates for NetBackup 7.0 for all UNIX/Linux/Mac clients.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH139132
(REQUIRED) NB_JAV_7.0.1.tar provides an update to NetBackup 7.0 Java on UNIX/Linux platforms

when you already have the 7.0 , you does not need the one that you have dowloaded from filenet..
check the below link to download the 7.0.1 , you can choose based on your client OS in the link.

Hi friends.
What's the difference between NB_CLT_7.0.1.tar & NB_JAV_7.0.1.tar . Which one I should download for upgrade.
11-20-2012 09:56 AM
NB_CLT_7.0.1.tar is the one...
NB_CLT_7.0.1.tar have the client binaaries,.. and NB_JAV_7.0.1.tar will have binaries for java console,
so you need to go with NB_CLT_7.0.1.tar for client upgrade..

You don't need the JAV patch if you're ONLY applying the CLT patch. (They are only required when you are applying the server patch.)

Hi friends.
Host Server Symantec Netbackup Version 7.0.1
When I try to run NB_update.install after downloading on NB_CLT_7.0.1, I was getting a error.,setup can't be completed as NB_JAV_7.0.1 package is not available. So I downloaded NB_JAV_7.0.1 and then NB_update.install.
After completing the procedure.
When I trying to login onto client, I am getting a error.
Unable to login, status :514
NB-java: bpjava-msvc is not compatible with this application version(7.0). You may try login to a different Netbackup host or exit the application. The remote Netbackup host will have to be configured with same version of Netbackup as the host you started the application on.
Kindly help.

Are you trying to logon to the Master or the Client where you have installed Client and Java patch?
Please check NBU versions on Master and Client:
cat /usr/openv/netbackup/version
cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version
(Client will only have /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version)
11-21-2012 04:25 AM
i just want to make sure what is your master servers version?
does it upgraded to 7.0.1 ?

now,
your client is also unix
what is the windows server that you are trying to bring up the java for client.?
what is the java console installed in the windows servers ,? i guess its 7.0
you should have the 7.0.1 in the windows server also..
11-21-2012 07:26 AM
Operating system of my client server & Host server is RedHat Linux.
I installed NB_JAV_7.0.1 because when I was trying to install NB_CLT_7.0.1 it was asking for NB_JAV_7.0.1 package.
11-21-2012 07:37 AM
so are you trying to bring up the java console from the RedHat Linux?
does it your work station and you are able to bring the desktop of this Redhat linux box?
could you expline me how exactly you are trying to access.. what are the servers/ OS versions , method of login and all..
11-21-2012 07:44 AM
I am using
/usr/openv/java/jnbSA & command on client machine(RedHat Linux) to open Netbackup Console.
We are using RedHat Linux in our servers.
11-21-2012 07:55 AM
how did you login to the Redhat Linux?
if you login to the server using SSH tools like Putty, you never get java console..
you need to install the java setup on your local desktop, then from there you need to connect to the servers which ever you want to ..
11-21-2012 07:55 AM
You can try bringing up the console using the following.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA &
