Upgrade Networker 7.6.0 -> 7.6.3
Author Message
Post Upgrade Networker 7.6.0 -> 7.6.3 
Windows 2003 sp2 x86 -- Networker 7.6.0.Build.148 -- Networker Server
and Storage Node
Upgraded to 7.6.3.0.Build840 -- Server first, then storage node

Notes:
Used Networker Protocol Generator v4.1e (NPG only mentions NWR up to
7.6.2 but no known difference from 7.6.3)
Review Networker 7.6.3 Admin and Install guide
Upgrades behind firewalls took 4-5x longer than those NOT behind
firewall.
It took so long at one point we stopped, checked our work (domain
name entry for SN) uninstalled and started over.
Started second attempt, went to lunch came back it was done and all
good.
From start to finish 2-3 hours for both.

Immediately noticed the new CLONING options, will review and check those
out.

Appears to be flawless upgrade.

Anyone else running 7.6.3 on windows?

Isn't 7.6.5 the latest version for Windows?

I'm still on 7.6.2, but I'm hoping in a couple weeks or so, when I can
schedule a weekend to do it. (quite honestly, going from 7.6.2 to 7.6.5
should easily be able to be done during normal working hours, and
shouldn't take *too* long; it's not like you have to re-load the media
database or anything, like in a D/R situation, or between Win2003 x86 and
Win2008 R2 x64). In my case, it would be the server and 8 storage nodes,
all local, no firewalls.

7.6.3 for windows is in RA right now, so I would say NO there is no such
thing as 7.6.5 or 7.6.4 for that matter.. At least not yet.

I am told there is a beta for v8.0 though if you can find a way to get
on THAT alpha/beta team.

We do appear to have come across a small anomaly....

We are using Windows Scheduler to run a few maintenance scripts. Basic
mminfo commands for tape maintenance etc....

After the upgrade and subsequent reboot of the server, it would appear
new security settings have been implemented. I believe that to be a
result of network security making changes that took effect after the
reboot.

But I did hear others say something about a similar issue on Linux where
if you run scripts interactively (admin account) it would work and but
the script running via a system account stopped working. /shrug We will
figure this out today hopefully.

Other than that, looking forward to the new clone staging options and
adding a shiny new DataDomain to the mix!

7.6.3 for windows is in RA right now, so I would say NO there is no such
thing as 7.6.5 or 7.6.4 for that matter.. At least not yet.

I may have been thinking of 7.6.2.5; I'm currently running 7.6.2.1 ...

We do appear to have come across a small anomaly....

We are using Windows Scheduler to run a few maintenance scripts. Basic
mminfo commands for tape maintenance etc....

I use scheduled tasks to clean AFTD devices of cloned savesets every day,
so pretty similar ...

After the upgrade and subsequent reboot of the server, it would appear
new security settings have been implemented. I believe that to be a
result of network security making changes that took effect after the
reboot.

But I did hear others say something about a similar issue on Linux where

Hmmm ...

P.S. we may have figured out the issue with the windows scheduler too...
If we run the scripts with an extra set of quotes it works... We are
thinking the pathing may have been messed up... going to reboot the box
again tomorrow and see if that fixes otherwise go back to a new bot
account... /shrug
