Adding a unixlinux client after initial server

Adding a UNIX/Linux client after initial server installation
You may want to add UNIX/Linux clients after the server installation if you forgot
to select one during the installation. You may also add a new UNIX/Linux client
type to your backup environment.
To install client software later, you must first install the NetBackup client software
onto the NetBackup server.

The client binaries represent the operating system versions where the binaries
were compiled. The binaries typically function perfectly on later versions of the
operating system. For example, HP PA-RISC 11.11 binaries also are used on
the HP PA-RISC 11.23 level of the operating system. The installation procedure
attempts to load the appropriate binaries for your system. If the script does not
recognize the local operating system, it presents choices.
