We use the Symantec Altiris product set to deploy all sorts of software, and
that includes NetBackup clients. There are many such products, which support a
range of OS types so that you can do what you require. We do have to create
our own native script wrappers around the provided kits to configure the right
servers, tune networks, run IVP etc.
If you used the ability to do client push for all the UNIX/Linux clients, you
*might* be able to use PowerShell to push Windows kits for the remaining
Windows systems and install them, but that would have to be from a central
Windows server. With that many clients, I'd be a little surprised if there
wasn't a tool already in place in your organisation to manage OS patching and
application updates.

I doubt we can push windows binaries from the master server itself. We can only
push unix binaries from the master server.

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.

Jeff,
If my master and media are on Solaris, can I still push AIX/Windows/RHEL with
dedicated polices ?
Don 't I need a master server on same platform too ?

You can create the policy in NetBackup and use that screen to push to the
clients you're installing. 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).

Hello All,
Let say we have our master server on solaris 10 (sprac architecture) and Media
servers on Redhat and AIX and windows.
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 ?
