Adding a UNIX/Linux client after initial server installation
You may want to add UNIX/Linux clients after the server installation if you forgot to select one during the installation. You may also add a new UNIX/Linux client type to your backup environment.
To install client software later, you must first install the NetBackup client software onto the NetBackup server.
To add UNIX/Linux client types to servers after initial installation
- Use one of the following methods to start the installation script:
DVD
Insert the NetBackup UNIX Clients DVD into the drive.
If necessary, mount the DVD.
Enter the following command:
dvd_directory/install
The dvd_directory is the path to the directory where you can access the DVD.
ESD images (downloaded files)
Navigate to the location where the installation images reside.
Enter the following command:
./install
- When the following message appears, press Enter to continue:

The binaries typically function perfectly on later versions of the operating system. The installation procedure attempts to load the appropriate binaries for your system. If the script does not recognize the local operating system, it presents choices.
- Select the client type that you want to load and follow the prompts to install that client type. Repeat as necessary until all of the client types you want are loaded.
Make sure that you load the software for all of the UNIX/Linux client types that you intend to install remotely from the server.
- After the installation is complete, unmount the DVD.
- Install the NetBackup client software on the clients you specified.
