I recently upgraded our NetWorker environment from 7.1.3 to 7.3.2, only
to discover that a Sun NIS server in our Engineering group is still at
Solaris 6 running NetWorker client 4.2.5. Apparently, the client will
not connect to a 7.3.2 server, because it just gets Permission Denied
now. The Engineering group is trying to get off of their Sun systems and
doesn't want to risk upgrading the OS on this box (inexplicably, it is
also a workstation-class machine).
Does anyone know what the newest NetWorker client is that is compatible
with Solaris 6? I assume it will be some 6.x client. I haven't had any
luck locating this information on PowerLink or the web.
Usually the easiest and surest way to resolve a question such as this is
to check the software compatibility guide on Powerlink. However Solaris
6 is no longer supported by any current version of NetWorker, so unless
anyone has archived some older versions of the SCG we won't be able to
find the answer.
I can say with certainty from memory that NetWorker 6.1.4 will support
Solaris 6 for both client and server, and also that 6.1.4 is the latest
version that will support a Solaris 6 NetWorker server. However I
suspect that there may be some later NetWorker versions that will
support a Solaris 6 machine as a client only. I cannot say this for sure.
