Overview
NetBackup’s customers have been requesting this and we have delivered. Deploying NetBackup clients just got easier.
3rd party, mass-deployment tools, such as Chef and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) make deploying software on different platforms much easier. These tools help to configure systems to deploy software, and to orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments and performance of custom actions before and after deployments.
NetBackup clients are available for platforms such as Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Windows that have different deployment methods. Chef, SCCM and similar tools let customers use remote webservers, network shares, or local drives to deploy NetBackup clients. These tools also perform some custom actions to obtain NetBackup environment details and to update the exclude list and the include list details.
Chef & SCCM support most NetBackup platforms. Veritas has developed deployment templates for Chef & SCCM, so that customers can deploy NetBackup clients at scale.
