What is your reason for upgrading from 7.1.2 to 7.2.2? This just
seems like an unnecessary step - upgrading from one unsupported
version to another unsupported version. There is no reason why you
should go from 7.1.2 to 7.4.4 or 7.5.1.
The main reason is because I'd prefer to make major changes on a
platform that I'm more familiar with (Solaris). Going to 7.2 (or maybe
7.3) seems like a reasonable, low-risk change. For example, if
something happens to the /dev paths to the tape devices, I'd be mostly
at a loss on how to fix things under IRIX.
Once I'm there I'd be more willing to make greater leaps. I'm not all
that familiar with the deep workings of NetWorker (or IRIX) at this
point, so I'm just being paranoid.
Like I said, I inherited this, and I'm trying to move the ball forward
with minimal risk. I'd rather take "unnecessary" steps than breaks
things.
You may be the more adventurous type. I'm not.
