Problem
Trying to use the "update_clients" script to push client updates to RedHat Linux clients, but the script is failing with the following error:
Detected an attempt to install incorrect platform and/or operating system and version client binaries on <client>.
client_config_failed
INF OTHER - EXIT STATUS = 1
EXIT STATUS = 1
Error
The following command is run on the master server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients -ClientList /var/tmp/clist
There are 1 clients to upgrade.
Do you want the bp.conf file on the clients updated to list this server as the master server? [y,n] (y)
The upgrade will likely take 1 to 3 minutes.
Do you want to upgrade clients now? [y,n] (y)
Please be patient.

Environment
Master is running running NB 7.0.1.
RHEL clients are running 6.5.4 or 6.5.3 client software.
Cause
Linux clients are 32-bit systems. NetBackup 7 no longer includes client software for 32-bit Linux systems.
Solution
Clients to run Netbackup 6.5.x as this version is backward compatible with Master/Media servers runnning 7.0. Any new clients added should be 64-bit.
