About NetBackup Flex Scale software installation

Your NetBackup Flex Scale appliance comes pre-installed with an operating system and the NetBackup Flex Scale software. You do not have to install anything on the raw nodes after you take them out of the box. Once you have assembled the nodes and placed the appliance in your data center environment, you verify the configuration prerequisites and begin with the cluster configuration.

See Configuring NetBackup Flex Scale using the setup wizard.

The installation instructions provided here are intended to serve only as a reference.
