Update from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4

[jjrinconbayon]

Hi,

i wanted to update my Legato Networker Server from 6.1.3 version to 6.1.4 version, running in a Sun Solaris 8 machine
do anyone know the procedure?
is it only to remove the LGTO* old packages and to add the new ones?

Thanks,
Juanjo

yes... just stop networker, make a backup copy of /nsr/res , pkgrm 6.1.3 and pkgadd 6.1.4.

If you use storage nodes, they need to be updated at the same time.

If you are using Alphastor, then contact Legato Support first.

Look at the Legato NetWorker Release Supplement, Release 6.1.4, UNIX and Linux Version, especially if you're using a SUN cluster.

Hi,

We have just upgraded our Legato Test Unix(OS 5.1) system from 6.1.3 to 7.0.

I just followed the Legato Networker, Release 7.0 AIX version Installation Guide. I am sure there must be one available for Sun Solaris 8 system.

simply stop networker daemons. make a copy of the nsr.res file , mm directory and index.

then simply type: pkgadd -d <location of networker 6.1.4 binarys>

Networker automatically merges the old files from 6.1.3 with the new ones. There's no need to uninstall 6.1.3 and make a new installation of 6.1.4.

Simply overwriting. This is also recommended from Legato to do so.

The installation guide for Solaris can be found at:

http://web1.legato.com/infodev/publications/NetWorker/UNIX/6.1/solig.pdf

In this file, you'll find that it clearly states that you need to remove the previous versions of NetWorker before installing the one you want to install (page 23)

It may not be practical to make a copy of the indexes prior to upgrading, especially if the indexes are huge. The mm and index directories are backed up as part of the backup anyway, and the Unix installation does not touch any of the res, mm, or indexes. However, I recommend making a backup copy of the res anyway, since it's relatively small, and can save some headaches in case of res corruption.
