I'm going through something similar, although we are at 7.2.2, and on
Windows.
If you look more closely on powerlink, there is an INSTALLATION Guide
(yes, it's on page 2 of 4) under the documentation for 7.3.2. At least
for Windows it was on page 2, not sure about Solaris.
Why in the world EMC chooses to put only 5 documents per page in this
day, I will never know. For windows, they have 20 documents to chose
from!
Anyway, I'd be interested in any tips that people have, as well.

Subject: [Networker] Upgrading to 7.3.2 with Jumbo patch 1
I intend to upgrade a Solaris 9 Power Edition server from 7.2.1. Its
been several years since the last time I did a NetWorker server
software upgrade. I just read the latest release notes and the new
Administrator Guide. I don't see anything about how to do this
upgrade in the Administrator's Guide, nor do I see that sort of
information on the PowerLink web site. Where can I find upgrade info?
This NetWorker server handles back ups for 250 servers that are a mix
of Tru64, Solaris 9, Mac OS X, Windows 2000/2003, and Linux. Almost
all the clients are running NetWorker 7.2.1. We also have a Solaris 9
storage node. I know I will have to put NetWorker 7.3.2 with the
Jumbo patch on the storage node and the client at the same time, but
is it recommended that we upgrade the clients too?
I also intend to deploy the "new to me" NetWorker Management Console.
Our current NetWorker server is underpowered, but it is due to be
replaced in the next month or so with a much faster server, a Sun
Fire T-2000 and a lot more disk space. What I am wondering is if I
should deploy the NMC on our NetWorker server or put it on a
different server. What is best practice for deploying the NMC? I
intend to use it to provide all the reporting features.
I figure that it will be best to complete this project before
replacing our NetWorker server hardware, replacing our old storage
node hardware, and adding a second storage node into our data zone.
Any tips anyone has for doing this upgrade and/or deploying NMC will
be appreciated.
