Possibilities: 1) Take a look at whether you can use the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files script to rsh or ftp the files to the clients. 1a) Hack the install_client_files script to use scp and sftp if you need to bypass a firewall or don't allow unsecured protocols like rsh/rcp. 2) If you can't go to them directly, run install_client_files and ftp the files to a server close to your Master (can't be a Master or Media though). Then make a tarball up of the /tmp/bp directory and copy THAT over to your client. 3) Last choice: copy over one at a time the 125-ish files that make up the NetBackup client for Solaris 8, making sure you put them all into the right place with the right permissions. And add the /etc/services entries needed. I really recommend options 1 or 2 though, if for no other reason than they'll build clients that are patched to whatever level your Master is. If you absolutely have to do option 3 for some other reason, shoot me a note offline and I'll get you something that might help.

In other words: Instead on inserting the Installation CD in the client (which is sometimes not possible --> geographically speaking) what files are needed (minimum) to be able to install the client software on a Solaris server (so I can copy those files over and install it) ?
