You will find links to all NBU 7.6 (which includes 7.6.1) manuals in Handy NBU Links in my signature. The manuals you need to download and read through : NetBackup Master Server Cluster Guide NetBackup Upgrade Guide NetBackup Installation Guide Find in the Cluster Guide the section for your Cluster software (which you never mentioned ) and look for upgrade steps. Look for cluster reference in Upgrade an Installation guides as well. Combine info in all of these docs to create step-by-step procedure for your unique environment.

Hi,

Last week we are performed to upgrade 7.6.1.1 on cluster server using MSCS. It was taking long time to upgrade in active node. we are facing lots of problem while upgradation because DB size is big. After upgradation in node 1 cluster resource of EMM is not coming to ONLINE. Finally, uninstalled netbackup 7.6.1.1 and rebooted the node1. Netbackup was came to ONLINE using version 7.6.1 

Passive Node upgraded to 7.6.1, after upgraded rebooted the passive node.

Fail-over to node 2, its working fine. In Node1 symantec investigated, upgradation was not properly completed suggesting us to once again install 7.6.1 and choose the option "Repair" to recover the corrupted files. We have followed the same steps after upgradation in node1, we are unable bring up all cluster resources, its went to offline. 

Now node 2 is active and working fine.

Please provide the soultion to fix the node1..

If you have a support case with Veritas you should stick to their recommendations. If its closed go ahed and re-opent it.
