Even we old time UNIX curmudgeons see value in some GUI. What we see NO value in is a system that ONLY does GUI. You simply get far more control with CLI flags and scripting than can be built into any GUI. (Well actually you might be able to build it into a GUI but your box' radio buttons would have to fill the screen).
The funny thing is over time Windows is actually adding more and more CLI capabilities for advanced administrators because they've finally recognized the limitations of GUI. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Martin, Jonathan Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 10:00 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Client Installation throughAdministration Console Wow. I never thought I'd see that day a Unix guy standing up for the GUI. Doesn't that violate your command line creed? Don't let bash shell find out! ;) For Windows, Symantec provides a silent install batch file or you can create an .msi transform to install remotely. Simply share the client source on your master, and run something like PsExec to run the command from the client.*** http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx Granted, it's not as easy as the Unix/Linux method, and it's outside the administration console. ***Note to Ed Wilt's Management: Custom .mst transforms and PsExec are not supported by Symantec. -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Whelan, Patrick Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 7:08 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Client Installation through AdministrationConsole You can install UNIX/Linux clients from the Java GUI. But not windoze clients. At least the option doesn't appear. If you click on Policies --> Summary of All Policies --> Clients then right click on a client it will show if you can install/upgrade of not.
