Re: [Networker] Q about upgrading from NW 7.5.2 to 7.6.2

One last question, then.

Sat I plan on shutting down NW server. I will make a backup of /nsr, just 
to be sure. I will uninstall 7.5.2. I will install 7.6.2. It should find 
all the clients, all the history, all the device definitions, and Just 
Work.

Yes? Or will I need to re-configure ... something ...?

Then Monday I will get a real 7.6.2 enabler from Licensing.

As for the storage nodes - I will just uninstall 7.5.2, and install 7.6.2. 


For those storage nodes with the SQL Modules installed, should I uninstall 
that and then re-install SQL Module after installing 7.6.2?. I wouldn't 
think so ...

There should be no need of a reboot in any case, so no interruption in 
user access of the storage nodes, and no need to schedule downtime. 
Correct?

This is all on Windows 2003 (server) and Win2008 (storage nodes).
