Sorry, I was off yesterday, but I didn't see this in the replies..

Did you go to EMC Powerlink and run the procedure generator?? 

It will give you an overall set of procedures to run, and it is specific
to the OS and versions that you are running. 

Good luck - we've had a lot of problems going from 7.2 to 7.4.4.4, and
still have 2 open tickets (for over 3 months).  Others have had better
results.

Subject: [Networker] Upgrading

Greetings,

I have gone through all possible upgrade scares and have two questions:

1. I am going to upgrade from 7.2 soon, but people are consistently
recommending to go for 7.4.4 and not 7.5.x ? Apart from the
functionality is this a good advice? I am sure 7.5.x can also be tamed
if it already is not.

2. Has someone who gone through the process of upgrading from 7.2 to 7.4
or 7.5 and documenting it be kind enough to share it. These are the
steps I am planning to follow:

a. Do a nsrim -X, nsrck -m, and nsrck -L6 on Backup Server
b. Copy the entire NSR folder to a safe location on Backup Server
c. Uninstall Networker on Backup Server and Storage Nodes, when it asks
to retain the NSR folder, say yes.
d. Install Networker 7.4.4 or 7.5.x on all Servers

Please correct me if I am missing anything here.

Regards,
Sami
