Weve been running 7.3 for a while now, with the main backup server running solaris, and the storage node running SLES9 (linux). These are the most serious bugs encountered so far:

* The new nsrauth system, based on GSSAPI is severely broken. It easily breaks/times out, probably a deadlock problem. This creates a partly hung state which gets worse and worse until networker is restarted (new in 7.3 obviously) * The cleaning uses left on the cleaning tape gets automatically updated when performing an inventory or when restarting networker. Previously, we had to run nsrjb -U to update the number of uses left (new in 7.3) * nsrlic crashes when run from CLI. We suspect its an old bug which we have encountered before in the 7.1 series, where local NDMP client licenses would cause the same problems. (new/reintroduced in 7.3) * CDI enabled on drives will crash the HBA driver, at least if youre runing the qla2xxx driver that is shippwed with SLES9 SP2 on the x64 platform (discovered in 7.2.1 running 32-bit binaries, remains on 7.3 with networker x64 binaries)

Please contribute to this list if you have any additional findings/ bugs to report. As usual, it helps if more networker users reports these and other bugs through their support channel, so that they get fixed sooner or later.

Have you reported these issues through official channels to Legato?
