The only thing you need to be wary of is the security model.
NetWorker
7.3 introduced a new security model. So, for clients older than
that you
need to make sure that you use the old security model.
Is it possible to set the security model on a client-by-client basis?
When we ran into this issue when going to 7.4.x, EMC seemed to imply
that
we must disable the new authentication site-wide, which is what we
did.
If we could disable it on a client-by-client basis, that would be
better.
That's not the case. You can disable/set the authentication model on a
client by client basis. I already have several customers who are doing
this for various reasons.
Run up:
nsradmin -s nsrServer -p nsrexec
nsradmin> print type: NSRLA
What you want to change is the "auth methods" option. On any new
server it will have a default value of:
"0.0.0.0/0,nsrauth/oldauth"
The auth methods are processed in order, so say you had a client
called cerberus that could only use the old security model - you'd
change it to:
nsradmin> update auth methods: "cerberus,oldauth","0.0.0.0/0,nsrauth/
oldauth"
Cheers,
