[Networker] Upgrading to 7.3.2 with Jumbo patch 1

I intend to upgrade a Solaris 9 Power Edition server from 7.2.1. Itsbeen several years since the last time I did a NetWorker serversoftware upgrade. I just read the latest release notes and the newAdministrator Guide. I don't see anything about how to do thisupgrade in the Administrator's Guide, nor do I see that sort ofinformation on the PowerLink web site. Where can I find upgrade info?

This NetWorker server handles back ups for 250 servers that are a mixof Tru64, Solaris 9, Mac OS X, Windows 2000/2003, and Linux. Almostall the clients are running NetWorker 7.2.1. We also have a Solaris 9storage node. I know I will have to put NetWorker 7.3.2 with theJumbo patch on the storage node and the client at the same time, butis 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 bereplaced in the next month or so with a much faster server, a SunFire T-2000 and a lot more disk space. What I am wondering is if Ishould deploy the NMC on our NetWorker server or put it on adifferent server. What is best practice for deploying the NMC? Iintend to use it to provide all the reporting features.

I figure that it will be best to complete this project beforereplacing our NetWorker server hardware, replacing our old storagenode hardware, and adding a second storage node into our data zone.

Any tips anyone has for doing this upgrade and/or deploying NMC willbe appreciated.
