NetBackup LiveUpdate provides a cross-platform, policy-driven method to distribute NetBackup Release Updates to NetBackup hosts at version 6.5 and later.
The LiveUpdate process is managed manually to help you control which computers are updated and when the updates occur.
The following describes how updates are downloaded and installed:
First, manually download NetBackup Release Update packages from a Symantec support site to your designated NetBackup LiveUpdate server.
Update packages consist of several compressed files. You must download the full set.
Next, create a LiveUpdate policy and run it on your NetBackup master server. The policy starts a LiveUpdate session with each client in the policy.
When you run the LiveUpdate policy, the LiveUpdate agent on each client checks with the LiveUpdate server for any available updates. The agent then launches the NetBackup update installation scripts and installs the updates silently.
