Hello All,
Master server version 7.7.2 running on LINUX REDHAT OS.
I am trying to use the update_clients script to update few of the clients which are currently having 6.5.6 and 7.0 but its getting failed.
Below is the error message

Have you installed 7.7.2 Solaris client binaries on the Linux master?
See Installing client type software on a master server in NetBackup Installation Guide

Marianne,
we have recently upgraded our master from 7.5.0.7 to v7.7.2
Below are the content from master
$ ls
Solaris10 Solaris9 Solaris_x86_10_64
$ pwd
/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Solaris

Check the version file in Solaris10 subdirectory.
Also review /tmp/update_clients.06-02-0541.2406 to see why the client updates failed.

When a server is upgraded, only the binaries for same OS-family will be upgraded along with server binaries.
So, on a Linux master, only Linux client binaries will be upgraded.
Client binaries for other Unix clients need to be installed separately as per the instructions in the Installation Guide.
As per Will's post - locate the 'version' files in the Solaris sub-directories and check the contents:
# cat version

Thanks Marianne and Will
I had checked the version of client binaries on Master server and most of them are still on v7.5.0.7.
Therefore i would need to install the latest binaries on master server.
I don't have the DVD avaliable with me from where i can download the client binaries on the master server.
Can you please let me know from where i can download the same, also what are procedure to install them on master.
Also do i need to stop the netbackup process while installaing the client binaries? if no then will it affect any running backup/restores?

Please be aware of space on the clients as well. You need to ensure that the TMP and OPENV directories have enough space.
Failed client installs may leave client down, and not able to backup.

Marianne,
I had logged in to my veritas account and found below 2 options to download.
NetBackup_7.7.2_CLIENTS1.tar.gz
NetBackup_7.7.2_CLIENTS2.tar.gz
Are these the ones that i need to download and install it on my master server and then push/upgrade the binaries from master server.
Also it would be great if you can share the steps that i need to follow for installing these packages on master server.
