Inventorying the target hosts for installed products
Before you can update the NetWorker software on a host, you must inventory the host to
determine the installed versions of NetWorker software.
Use the Software Configuration Wizard GUI or the nsrpush program to inventory target
hosts:

Inventorying installed products by using the Software Administration Wizard
Use the Software Administration Wizard in NMC to generate an inventory of NetWorker
software installed on the target hosts.
1. Start the Software Administration Wizard and click Next.
2. In the Select Operation window, select Discover the currently installed software
products on my NetWorker clients, click Next.
A list of the clients configured on the NetWorker server appears.
3. In the Select Clients for Inventory window, select the required clients and click Next.
The inventory of a client is valid at the time when you last ran the inventory operation.
To ensure that the Wizard has the most current software inventory for a client,
reinventory clients whose status is Yes in the Already Inventoried column.
4. In the Client Inventory Started window, accept the default option, Yes.
5. Click Next to monitor the inventory operation.
The Monitor Activity window appears and provides the status of inventory job in the
top table and the status of each client inventory operation in the bottom window, for
the selected inventory job. When the inventory job contains many clients, the job
might take awhile to complete.
