Upgrade Opscenter from 7.6.0.3 to 7.6.1
Hi
Current environment:
Master server running on Redhat Linux 6 with NBU version 7.6.0.3
Opscenter running on Windows 2008 server with opscenter version 7.6.0.3
We have totally over 7 Master server in our environment with either 7.6.0.1 or 7.6.0.3 version on the NBU side.
We are going to upgrade the Master server to 7.6.1, and in order to do so, we have to upgrade the Opscenter first.
I have read the opscenter admin guide and the upgrade section and I have some questions regarding the Opscenter upgrade:
- I read somewhere in the opscenter admin guide that data collection on the opscenter needs to be disabled prior to upgrade. However it does not mention that during the step by step procedure for upgrade in the admin guide. Am i suppose to disable the data collection for all the master servrers from the opscenter or not?
- It is mentioned about the AT and how that has changed in 7.6.1 version. Depending on the upgrade scenario, one might need to perform some steps prior to the upgrade. Wheter or not to perform these steps is based on wheter we have cluster\non cluster environment and wheter AT is share or remote. My question is how do i figure if my AT is shared or remote
Any other suggestions are appreciated.Thanks
When we upgrade a NetBackup master server we only disable the data collection for that specific server.

Shut off the data collectors. Always a good idea so the install goes faster. As for the AT you should have a local since in 7.6 the AT is installed locally and is used for OpsCenter only where it could have been shared between other Symantec products prior to that (makes you wonder if the decision to split the company was in the works even back then.)
