We did the same upgrade but with a Solaris server and one Solaris
storage node. We had no problems and no re-configuration was necessary.
After you drop in the new version nsrexecd, however, make sure the
permissions are correct. If it is not executable, starting NetWorker
will fail with nothing written to the logs.
Also, I'd wait a day or two between steps 5 and 6 - just in case.

Subject: [Networker] Recommendations on 7.2.2 jumbo for 7.x.x security
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
