hello,
i have a media server, on Linux Redhat 5.7.
the Netbackup version is 7.5.0.6.
Master server on Windows 2008 R2, and the Netbackup is entreprise 7.5.0.6
i need to upgrade to Master and media server to 7.7.1. so for the Windows is not womplex because it's under Windows,
but on Linux, i have the Netbackup binary, and two files "NetBackup_7.7.1_CLIENTS1.tar.gz" and "NetBackup_7.7.1_CLIENTS2.tar.gz", so, when i split them to one fil, and extract it i didn't find the upgrade script, all what i find is /install.sh and other folders.
if i run the install command from the "NetBackup_7.7.1_LinuxR_x86_64.tar.gz" after unzip, it will do the upgrade of the media server ?
i learned the upgrade file on this link, but i didn't find the upgrade instructions :
https://download.veritas.com/resources/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/8000/DOC8958/en_US/NetBackup771_Upgrade_Guide.pdf?__gda__=1449767638_55c33afec8bcf60b326f9ee4f21be359
Please help. Thanks in advance.

NBU 7.7.1 is not a patch - it is a new install. So, no NB_update - run install script.

Yes - You need to run the NB_update script from the "NetBackup_7.7.1_LinuxR_x86_64.tar.gz"
Please also refer to the NBU 7.7.1 upgrade instruction:

thanks a lot for your return Marianne.
the upgrade has been done successfully....
but, i have a little issue, when i upgraded the master, my colleague can no longer administer the infrastructure by the new java admin console, they can just view the compenent, but there is no policies for example...
how can i add them so they can administer the Master server too ?
when the installation progress i saw the nbpaz process was installing too !!
thanks in advance for help

Opps, many apologies, my error - NBU 7.7.1 is indeed a full install not a patch, I've remove my advice as it was indeed incorrect.

Removed as incorrect advice - my error , 7.7.1 is indeed a full install.
