    If you find this blog interesting, and either have an interest in or work in data protection/backup and recovery environments, you should check out my book, Enterprise Systems Backup and Recovery: A Corporate Insurance Policy. Designed for system administrators and managers alike, it focuses on features, policies, procedures and the human element to ensuring that your company has a suitable and working backup system rather than just a bunch of copies made by unrelated software, hardware and processes.

7.5.1 Cumulative patches

Posted by Preston on 2009-06-16

7.5.1 cumulative patches (i.e., patches on top of 7.5.1) have been made for most NetWorker platforms.

While I don’t have release notes, etc., at the moment, if you’re having issues with 7.5.1, you may find some of those issues addressed in the cumulative patches.

As an example, the patches for the issue I previously raised relating to changed (erroneous) behaviour in 7.5.1 with deletion of savesets from disk backup units have been rolled up into this cumulative fix.

Touch base with your EMC or EMC Partner support provider for access to these patches.

Note: I’ve not yet had a chance to roll these cumulative patches out on my own lab servers, so I can’t personally recommend them – yet.

    When contacting EMC, what do you ask for? I’ve asked for a general patch bundle previously, but I’ve always gotten the phone equivalent of a blank stare.

      Generally I find asking for the cumulative patch bundle works fine. In this case the patch bundle is “7.5.1.2” – maybe that might help.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
