(No, not micromanuals – official EMC Technical Notes for NetWorker.)
EMC has been working hard at making very useful technical documents available for NetWorker. There’s two in particular that were released in April/May 2011 that offer brilliant information – these are:
- NetWorker Probe Overview and Troubleshooting Technical Note – At last. This is worth downloading just for one paragraph in that document, which clearly explains the exact criteria in which clients are probed, new savesets are selected for initiation, etc. You must read this document.
- Configuring Tape Devices for EMC NetWorker Technical Note – A really useful overview of getting tape devices configured in NetWorker. While normally this is straight forward, when there are problems, they can be frustrating to work through. This provides some really comprehensive information regarding the process, including some per-OS details that aren’t to be missed.
Do yourself a favour – make sure to download the above two documents, and keep an eye on the NetWorker Technical Notes – they’re proving to be of excellent value.
Preston – THANK YOU for promoting these tech notes. I’m glad you find them of value. These are examples of topics about which we’ve received requests for more info beyond what’s in the admin guides today. Where and when it makes sense, we’ll double back and insert details into admin guides to make those more complete. You’ve reminded us to make sure we promote these tech notes out to the NetWorker users as they become available. Cheers! -Eric
