Lou, we AlphaStor users seem to be a bit thin on the ground so it's good
to hear from someone that is using it.

Download the installation guide ands check for versions (I know you're
OK with 7.2.1). There is a gotcha with the Unix package installation. ST
drivers are no longer used in 3.1, in fact, they are unloaded and not
reloaded. You are expected to use the LUs drivers (but the documentation
doesn't mention that). 

Make sure you have a reliable backout plan and a good recent backup...


Regards
Bob

Subject: [Networker] Networker with AlphaStor

Currently I am using Networker 7.1.1 With AlphaStor 3.0.  I am looking
to upgrade both Software pieces.  I have a third party knowledge module
running on Networker That is only qualified to level 7.2.1 of Networker.
I have seen all the issues with Networker 7.3 and I do not feel we are
ready to move in that direction yet.  I think we will wait until 7.3.1
which is what the third party knowledge module is waiting on also.  With
us probably moving to Networker 7.2.1 would it be better to stay with
our current version of AlphaStor (AS) 3.0 or go ahead and install 3.1.
Does anyone know of issues with NW 7.2.1 and AS3.0 or AS 3.1?  Are there
requirements for Networker to be at a certain level before moving to
AlphaStor 3.1?
