42 EMC NetWorker Release 8.1 SP1 Installation Guide
Updating from a previous release
The Console server software does not support the following previously supported
operating systems:
◆ HP-UX ia64
◆ Windows 2003, 2003 SP1, 2003 R2, Windows 32-bit
◆ AIX 5.2, AIX 5.3
◆ Solaris 9, Solaris x86
If the Console server runs on one of these operating systems, you cannot update the
Console server to 8.1.x. Perform one of the following task:
◆ Install a new Console server in the datazone on a supported operating system. To
provide historical reports, keep the old Console server at the previous NetWorker
version.
◆ Install a new Console server in the datazone on a supported operating system and
move the Console server database and configuration files to the new Console server.
“For the Console server only, install the Console server software” on page 38 provides
more information.
◆ Update the operating system to a supported version before updating the Console
servers software to version 8.0. The
EMC NetWorker Software Compatibility Guide on
EMC Online Support Site provides more information about supported Console server
operating systems.
UNIX only, backing up the configuration files
The NetWorker software installation process overwrites the existing NetWorker startup
script files. Back up the configuration files before you install the NetWorker software.
To back up the NetWorker configuration files:
1. Log in to the target host as root.
2. Create a backup copy of the original files.
For example:
cp original_file backup_file
Table 3 on page 42 provides a list of the names and locations of the configuration files
on each operating system.
