That is more than sufficient

As long as you're not going to try coexisting 7.2 Jumbo and 7.3.x I
wouldn't worry about it

fix?

Hi,

I need to install 7.x.x security fix (nsrexecd binary replacement) for a

Solaris 9 primary server and two Linux storage nodes. Server is running 
7.2.2 64-bit (non-jumbo). Both snodes are running 7.2.2 32-bit 
(non-jumbo). Any suggestions or pit falls to watch out for? Not ready 
yet to go for 7.3.x just yet, but they will drop support for 7.2.2 
within 6 months, I know.

Here's the steps I was going to do:
1. Create level full backup of server (and all client indexes just in
case).
2. Stop software on server and snodes.
3. Uninstall 7.2.2 software on primary server, and then (a) install 
7.2.2 jumbo (64-bit) version and then (b) copy new nsrexecd binary into 
place.
4. Ditto for snodes (but with 32-bit version).
5. Start up software on primary server, followed by snodes.
6. Upgrade all clients to 7.2.2 jumbo with similar nsrexecd replacement.

Clients might take another day, but a 7.2.2 client should be able to 
work with the 7.2.2 jumbo server OK ...  I would think?

Will it be necessary to re-configure the snodes and/or jukebox 
configurations? Seems to me that I had to do that once before when I 
upgraded the server software but can't recall if that was to a new 
release or not. I would think that the configuration would remain 
untouched and everything should come up and work same as before with no 
re-inventory of tapes needed, etc., but ...

Thanks.

George
