Is anyone out there with experience doing an 7.5.1 upgrade? any issues? andhow where the issues resolved?

I have experience trying to upgrade clients to 7.5 and 7.5.1 -- because I use firewalls, I haveforced the clients to use a known four ports. Neither 7.5 nor 7.5.1 will reliably start whenthey are limited to just the four ports they require. EMC is (so far) unable to figure out theproblem (according to what the support person I am dealing with has told me -- he can't evenreproduce it -- sadly, the triage person reproduced it on Solaris and forwarded it into thesupport structure --- upset with EMC much? Who, me???? :-) ).

Research I have done says that with "nsrposrts -S 7937-7049", you have a 30% chance thatnsrexecd will start when you run "/etc/init.d/networker start" on linux (both 32 and 64 bitversions).

It is not until you increase to "nsrports -S 7937-7085" that you get a 100% chance nsrexecdwill start. lsof always reports that nsrexecd is using just four ports when it does start...clearly, EMC has screwed something up in the programming of how nsrexecd starts up.
