Hi All,
I am upgrading Netbackup Solaris clients, as i have only 512 Mb space in most of the servers, which cannot be expanded further.
So i downloaded software in client and chnage below parameter in ./install script
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/tmp} to TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/var/tmp}
It worked for me to successfully install client.
However i cant copy that software in each client due to its size hence :
Is this software can be copied to Solrias client from master server for local installation on client.
instead of downloading complete client package -->NetBackup_7.6.0.1_CLIENTS1, can i just copy below file on Solairs clients.
[root@xxxxxx save]# pwd
/usr/openv/pack/NB_CLT_7.6.0.1/save
[root@xxxxxx save]# ls -ltrh
total 1679631
-r-xr-x--- 1 root root 819M Jul 3 2014 NB_CLT_7.6.0.1Solaris.070314_150617.tar.gz
Also let me know , if is there any way i can modify :
update_clients script in master server to use /var/tmp , instead odf /tmp.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I've just posted a procedure to make smaller v7.6.1(.2) kits here:
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/processprocedure-make-smaller-client-install-kits
...BUT... BE WARNED - that procedure is very likely not suitable for stripping down the v7.6.0.1 Client kits.
You should be able to tweak the process for v7.6.0.1 yourself - but I wouldn't do it on a production server. And use at your own risk.

See if this post helps:

You can also find steps on Oracle web site to increase /tmp by adding a swapfile.

I don't think you should copy that save file from one client to another - I believe that it is a roll-back file, and should not be used for client installs.
I think you could delete that file to free-up some space - but then you won't be able to roll-back the client version - but then maybe this isn't a problem for you.

Thank you sdo for making me correct.
@ Marianne,
I checked with Unix team, that /swap space cannot be increased.
I think i need to go with manual installation.

Hi Marianne,
Our unix team is not ready to increase the swap space.
So, i saved software on nfs volume, mounted that volume on all the servers.
Modified below parameter in ./install script:
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/tmp} to
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/var/tmp}
So far i have upgraed most of the servers.
I got this solution from the Champ35 post , that you referred.
Thank you.
