EMC NetWorker Release 8.1 SP1 Installation Guide
Updating from a previous release
To prepare the proxy media kit location:
1. On the NetWorker server, extract each compressed software package into the Media
Kit Location.
2. On the proxy host:
a. Create a directory for the Proxy Media Kit Location.
b. Extract a copy of the cross platform software packages to the Proxy Media Kit
Location.
For example:
When a Linux NetWorker server updates Windows x86, Windows x64, and
Windows ia64 NetWorker clients, you must extract the Windows x86, Windows
x64, and Windows ia64 packages to the Proxy Media Kit Location.
Preparing the software repository
Before you can use Client Push to update the NetWorker software, you must add the
information about the NetWorker packages from the Media Kit Location into the Client
Push software repository database.
You can use the Software Administration Wizard GUI or the nsrpush program to prepare
the software repository database:
◆

page 54 describes how to use the GUI interface to update the NetWorker software.
