Hi,
We're getting ready to install a NW patched version (7.5.1.9) for Linux.
Our current version is 7.5.1 on Linux. We received the patch install
from EMC. This looks to be the same gzipped tar distribution, i.e. the
client, the node, the server, etc. as on the older CD media kit, but
with different sizes, dates and checksums - natch. I remember in the
past with older releases that we'd get specific binary replacements, but
this is the whole thing, I guess.
Are there any particular steps that we should follow to install this?
I assume this will be done same as usual upgrade, but it's been a long
time since I've run an upgrade for NW. We did a fresh install for our
current release.
1. Make a backup of the server
2. Save bootstrap info
3. Stop nmc (runs on primary)
4. Shut down NW on snode and primary server
4. Uninstall current release on primary in order (serv, node, clnt, manpg)
5. Uninstall current release on snode in order (node, clnt, manpg)
5. Install new patched release on primary in order (clnt, node, serv, manpg)
6. Install new patched release on snode in order (clnt, node, manpg)
7. Restart NW on primary and snode
8. Restart nmc
That it???
We're not using the license manager. I assume we won't need any kind of
update enabler? I assume that the install won't touch anything under
/nsr/res; /nsr/index or /nsr/mm ????
Our tape library is on the snode only. Will we need to reconfigure our
tape library?
Will probably install the patch client on all our clients, too.
Thanks.
George
