Updating NetWorker from 8.0.x or 8.1.x 39
Updating from a previous release
b. On the Product Configuration window, click Next.
c. On the Ready to upgrade the Program window, click Upgrade.
For Console server updates only, reconfigure LDAP
When the Console server uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
authentication, attempts to login to the NMC server with the LDAP account after upgrading
will succeed but the LDAP account will not have Networker Server Administration
privileges. To resolve this issue, reconfigure LDAP authentication:
1. Move the following files from the
NMC_installation_directory \gst\cst directory on
Windows or the
NMC_installation_directory /cst on UNIX to a temporary location:
•Config.xml
•csp.clb
•csp.clb.bak
•csp.cred
•upgrade_cst.tag, if present
2. Rename the Config.xml.template file to Config.xml. The Console server starts in native
authentication mode. Log in with the NMC Administrator user and the password that
you defined before you configured NMC to use LDAP.
If you do not remember this password:
a. Set the Environment Variable GST_RESET_PW to a value of 1.
b. Start the EMC GST service.
c. Connect to the Console server by using a browser.
d. Log in to the Console server with the administrator username and the password
administrator. If prompted, create a new password for the administrator user.
3. Reconfigure the Console server to use LDAP authentication. “An external
authentication authority” in the
NetWorker 8.1 Administration Guide describes how to
reconfigure LDAP authentication.
4. If set, delete the GST_RESET_PW environment variable. This step prevents a password
reset at each Console server login attempt.
Authorizing the NetWorker server
The NetWorker software adds a required update enabler code to the NetWorker server
configuration. You cannot delete this enabler code. The update enabler code expires 45
days after the NetWorker server update, unless you use capacity-based licensing.
Contact EMC Licensing within 45 days of upgrading the NetWorker server to permanently
authorize the update enabler. The
NetWorker Licensing Guide describes how to authorize
an update enabler and how to use the capacity-based license model.

If the update enabler expires or you do not apply the authorization code, the NetWorker
software will not function at the new release level.
