Inventorying installed products by using nsrpush
Use the nsrpush command to generate an inventory of the NetWorker software installed
on the target hosts.

You must add at least one package to the software repository before you can run an
inventory operation.
To inventory hosts configured on the NetWorker server, type:
nsrpush -i -all| hostname...
where -all queries inventories every NetWorker client and hostname specifies the name of
a host to inventory. Separate multiple hostnames with spaces.
Updating NetWorker products by using Client Push
Once a NetWorker host is in the Client Push inventory, use Client Push to update the host
with software that resides in the Client Push software repository database.
For Windows hosts that support BBB, Client Push installs the BBB drivers. The
NetWorker
Administration Guide
describes how to enable and configure BBB backups.

NetWorker products on target hosts:
