EMC once told me (unofficially) that the nwadmin GUI is fine for monitoring
a 7.3.x system but should not be used to make any changes, particularly for
drives and jukeboxes. I have used nwadmin successfully to monitor 7.3,
although I haven't tested extensively to assure that all the displays are
100% accurate. I've heeded EMC's advice and never used it for updating.
