Netbackup GUI -> Host Properties -> Clients -> block mark all client and let Netbackup retrieve the client version.

If you wan to use the command line there is info and examples here:

Expert NBU script writer, Mark Donaldson, has shared his script on the veritas-bu mailing list some time ago:

#!/bin/ksh

PATH=$PATH:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

echo "      Client         \t         OS Level        \t Release"
echo "=====================\t ========================\t ======="
for c in `bpplclients -allunique -noheader | awk '{print $3}' |grep sg.55`
do
  bpgetconfig -s $c -L -A | \
    awk -F'=' '{if($1~/Client.OS/){os=$2}
                if($1~/Patch/)   {p=$2}
                if($1~/Protocol/){v=$2}}
                END { if(p~/^ *$/){r=v}else{r=p}
                      printf("%-22s\t%-25s\t%s\n","'$c'",os,r)} '
done

It produces one line output per client.

Understand that it takes time to run since the master has to connect to clients one-by-one to request info.
If there is any connectivity issue to a client, script will take even longer as bpgetconfig will wait for Client_Connect_Timeout to expire before the next client is attempted.
