Itzik, Thanks for the advice about Chapter 4. I've now read it over
and during the Networker installation, it says to install the client
(run the networker.cluster script on each node); install the Storage
Node Software (run the networker.cluster script on each node);
install the Server Software (run the networker.cluster script on each
node).

After looking through that script, I think I'll defenitely point the
CDSL for /nsr to someplace other than the actual place for
Networker's files, when it says to run networker.cluster with the -r
arguement.

Thanks again,
Randy

The update should be just straight forward if your Networker server
is
not installed in a cluster (Highly Available Networker Server).
Have done this for a non clustered system - piece of cake.
If your Networker server was installed as a service in a cluster, you
better closely follow the instructions in Chapter 4.

Subject: [Networker] Networker 7.2.1 Upgrade Query

Greetings, This weekend (thanks for it being the 5th weekend
of the month
and no scheduled fulls) I'm going to upgrade our Alpha
TruCluster Networker
from 7.1.1 to 7.2.1 and I have a couple of questions.

1) Hopefully after the upgrade all of our clients
(Windows/Linux/Oracle/Exchange) will still be able to backup/restore
without having to also upgrade. I didn't see this expressly
stated in the
documentation, but wanted to asked to be sure. Is this correct?

2) In reading the documentation, it looks like a pretty
simple upgrade -
basically delete the old (setld -d) and install the new (setld -l .)
However, in the install guide for Tru64 (Chapter 4 - Updating
from a Highly
Available Networker Server - Task 2 section), it says to
use "networker.cluster -r" command, and then to answer "No"
to the "Do you
wish to continue" question. (Page 35 of the 7.2 install
guide). I'm not
sure what this is doing and why say "No" when prompted?

3) Basically, I'm assuming that all of my current
configuration (Indices,
Clients, Licensing, Scheduling, Groups, etc) will be
preserved during the
installation/upgrade. I'm I correct in this assumption?

I've done this installation from scratch (the 7.1.1 install)
but not an
upgrade.

Thanks In Advance,
Randy
