Re: [Networker] upgrade from 7.3.2 to 7.4

Hello,
If you have not been regular admin for Networker, i urge you to get 
familiar with networker install\admin\DR procedures, no matter how simple 
the upgrade is, knowing what platform\hardware will also go a long way in 
helping you understand the process.
Document current setup ( there are several easy scripts that can do that 
for you-ask for them ), take backup of existing  server & have them 
available during  upgrade, check through previous posts and upgrade 
questions to get a idea on the process.
Make sure you  have no licensing concerns, as 7.4 has a few ( check the 
release note for explanation), you may need to apply certain enamelers 
before you get started with the upgrade and verify after the upgrade that 
they are functional and not expiring.
Take a note on your Library's\devices\partition setting so that you can 
re-configure them the way there are if some info is lost.
Get and store output of nsrlic, nsrsup etc for future reference.
Hopefully, previous admin may have documented some procedures, it seems 
odd that the sys admin is asking you  the new guy to do it all.
Let me know if you need additional help.
HTH

upgrade from 7.3.2 to 7.4






My system admin wants me to upgrade our Networker to the latest version 
and I won't BS anyone. I am scared to death to do it.  Is there anyone out 
there willing to help or point me in the right direction so that I am not 
eventually told to get a box and clean out my desk.
