Yeah, that looks rough, best of luck. Our dev server upgrade failed the
first time, but it was because it blew up trying to merge MIB files from
a directory with spaces. I was impressed that I could just delete that
directory from the backup and rerun the upgrade w/o having to restore
the whole smash like we did from 7.1.3 to 7.1.4.

[NV-L] NetView 7.1.5 Upgrade Issues     
                

Hi there,

Currently I have NetView 7.1.4 running on RedHat Linux ES 3.0.

Now I am in the process of upgrading NetView 7.1.4 to NetView 7.1.5. To
carry out the same I have taken selective backup of current NetView
setup, Upgraded the OS from RedHat ES 3.0 to RedHat ES 4.0, and then I
copied the backup folder "OV.back.v7r1" under /usr.

Finally, I have executed the command, 

./instalnv -k SERVER -u

After some progress, I am returned with an error as pasted down. Did
anyone come across with this problem? Would anyone help me in resolving
the same?
