No. The master should be able to push to any clients it supports. We have a mix of Linux, Windows and HP-UX. Previously we used an HP-UX master but have been using a Linux master for several years. You have to create the policy with the client first to do the push though.
We quit doing the push some time ago in favor of doing ssh install to Linux and Unix.

That assumes you've opened up connection to the clients. You'd want separate policies for AIX, RHEL and Windows of course. I don't know how many clients you can push to that way at once though. Here we typically don't push but rather do it via command line but we don't have 5000 servers. Are you going to user desktops vs servers in that 5000 count by any chance? If so I'd focus on servers first then do desktops (if ever - here we don't back up desktops - we reload in the event of failure). Jeffrey C.

Now we need to install NetBackup clients on 5000 server with mixed OS linux, windows etc. What is the best way to install clients ? I know we can push through SCCM (in windows ) and puppet (in linux) is there any other better way to do it ?
