◆ To query a host for a list of installed NetWorker products, type:
nsrpush -s -all| hostname...
where -all queries each inventoried client and hostname specifies the name of a host
to query. Separate multiple hostnames with spaces.
◆ To update all hosts in a datazone with the exception of certain hosts, add the clients
to the exclude list:
nsrpush -e hostname...
where hostname is the name of the host to exclude from the update process. Separate
multiple hostnames with spaces.
Note: To remove clients from the exclude list, type nsrpush -x hostname...
◆ To update the NetWorker software, type:
nsrpush -u -p product -v version -Tp directory -To timeout
-all| hostname...
where:
•
product is the name of the product to update.
•
version is the version of the product in the repository.
•-Tp
path is optional and allows you to specify an alternate existing location with
sufficient disk space, to store temporary installation files on the target host. When
you specify multiple clients, you must specify the path in the same order. The
default location is C:\windows\temp on Windows and /tmp on UNIX.

When the path does not exist on the target host NetWorker copies the temporary
files to C:\ on a Windows host and / on a UNIX host.
•-To
timeout is optional and allows you to define how long to attempt the update
operation on a client before cancelling the operation. When you specify multiple
clients, you must specify the timeout values in the same order. The default timeout
value is different for each operating system:
– Solaris, Linux, and Windows—600 seconds
– AIX—200 seconds
– HP Unix—400 seconds
• -all updates all inventoried clients that are not in the exclude list and
hostname is
the name of the host to update. Separate multiple hostnames with spaces.
