Level 3

Hi All,

 

We are planning to upgrade our NetBackup Master server to 7.6.0.3 from 7.6.0.1 because vmware vSphere will be upgraded to 5.5 U2.

Please can you share the precautions or measures need to be taken care for upgrading to 7.6.0.3

7.6.0.3 is merely a patch that goes on top of 7.6.0.1.
Any kind of lengthy database conversion was done during upgrade to 7.6.0.1. (If fresh 7.6 installation, all dbs were created in new format.)

Catalog backup should always be done before any patch or upgrade.

Other than that, just carefully read the TNs where you download the patches from - these TNs serve as README for each patch.

Ensure sufficient space for the patch (before and after extracting zip files) and for installation as the old binaries are backed up before new binaries are installed.

Always keep an eye on LBN:
