[Networker] Networker 7.3 discovered bugs
2006-03-03 03:01:25
Weve been running 7.3 for a while now, with the main backup server running
solaris, and the storage node running SLES9 (linux). These are the most
serious bugs encountered so far:
* The new nsrauth system, based on GSSAPI is severely broken. It easily
breaks/times out, probably a deadlock problem. This creates a partly hung
state which gets worse and worse until networker is restarted (new in 7.3
obviously)
* The cleaning uses left on the cleaning tape gets automatically updated
when performing an inventory or when restarting networker. Previously, we
had to run nsrjb -U to update the number of uses left (new in 7.3)
* nsrlic crashes when run from CLI. We suspect its an old bug which we
have encountered before in the 7.1 series, where local NDMP client
licenses would cause the same problems. (new/reintroduced in 7.3)
* CDI enabled on drives will crash the HBA driver, at least if youre
runing the qla2xxx driver that is shippwed with SLES9 SP2 on the x64
platform (discovered in 7.2.1 running 32-bit binaries, remains on 7.3 with
networker x64 binaries)
Please contribute to this list if you have any additional findings/bugs to
report. As usual, it helps if more networker users reports these and other
bugs through their support channel, so that they get fixed sooner or
later.
