How are software packages downloaded for automatic client deployment if multiple client platforms are present?

According to IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 documentation1, automatic client deployment is a feature that allows the IBM Spectrum Protect server to automatically upgrade backup-archive clients on client workstations. The existing backup-archive clients must be at version 6.4.3 or later.

To use this feature, you must download the software packages for the client platforms that you want to upgrade from the IBM Support website23. You can use the Operations Center or command line interface to specify where to store these packages on the server and how to distribute them to clients1.
