The nsrpush program discovers installed software on remote NetWorker clients and
upgrades that software. Options are provided for specifying NetWorker packages for multiple platforms. A similar facility is provided by NMC. Pressing Ctrl+C will provide the option to either cancel a long operation, or exit nsrpush. Selecting cancel will not terminate the current upgrade operation, but will prevent the next client in a sequence from being upgraded. Exiting nsrpush does not cancel the current operation, rather it continues to run in the background. Upgrades initiated by nsrpush can be monitored via the NMC GUI.
Inventorying clients:
To inventory all of the clients known to NetWorker, use the – all option:
nsrpush – i – all
To specify particular clients, specify the client names separated by space:
nsrpush – i ledma153 ledma160
Adding to repository:
To add Unix based products to the software repository on a NetWorker server running either Windows or Unix, use the – a option in conjunction with the –U option:
nsrpush -a -U – p NetWorker – v 8.2.4.1 – P linux_x86_64 -m /cdrom/networker/linux_x84_64
To add Windows based products to the software repository on a either a Unix or a Windows NetWorker server, use the – a option in conjunction with the –W option:
nsrpush -a -W – p NetWorker – v 8.2.4.1 – P win_x64 -m C:\networker\
Previous NetWorker versions required the specification of a proxy host to enable Unix servers to import Windows media kits, and to enable Windows servers to import Unix media kits. The proxy server requirement has been removed; cross platform import is now supported without the need for a proxy server.
Removing from repository:
To remove products from the repository, use the – r option:
nsrpush -r – p NetWorker – v 8.2.4.1 – P linux_x86_64
Upgrading Clients
To upgrade clients, use the –u option:
nsrpush -u – p NetWorker – v 8.2.4.1 ledma170
Script contents for checking the NetWorker client version
for x in $(cat /nsr/client_list.txt); do echo $x , $(printf '. type: nsrla\nprint\n' | nsradmin -p nsrexecd -s $x | grep 'NetWorker version' | awk '{print $3}'); done
