We upgraded last week and so far haven't seen any new problems. It does

We're at 7.3.1 now. We are migrating from TSM to networker and deployed
on 7.3.0 initially. We experienced many of the problems and bugs that
have already been detailed on this list.
Just for the record, I have a fairly large environment, so many of the
7.3.1 problems I was seeing may not affect other folks. I'm pushing
about 50TB of data a month through a single server and doing most of the
backups via. NFS. At one point my indices were over 200GB (since been
trimmed, but they're still in the 80GB range).
I'd be curious what problems you've seen as our environment is of
similar size. We're pushing 75TB/month through a single networker
server (Solaris) and our indexes right now are at about 40GB. And we
still have some substantial hosts to migrate. Our STK tape silos are
managed by ACSLS and networker's handling of ACSLS has been the source
of many woes (not disabling devices that have tapes stuck in them after
10 tries. not enabling the silo on a server restart due to a problem
with one drive. losing tapes in inventory requiring periodic nsrjb -II
operations. no ability to use jbedit or GUI configuration to make on the
fly changes or dedicated storage node adds). The nsrd server is
standalone. All storage nodes are remote storage nodes attached to
backup devices. We replicate /nsr to a remote cold standby using Veritas
volume replicator.
We ran until very recently on the default nsrauth method. We
experienced numerous timeouts, a sluggish GUI, etc. Switching to
oldauth is making a substantial difference. I don't know if networker
can utilize SSL hardware acceleration but then I don't know if that
would help the nsrauth methods or not(is it a code problem or resource
exhaustion). Regardless, the hardened nsrauth is not nearly as
important to us as actually completing backups, preferably within their
alloted windows.

Hi,
Networker 7.3.2 have now been released. Have anyone installed it? And how
does it seem to work compared with 7.3.1? It it safe for production in a
medium enviroment?
