In the last few days, cumulative patch clusters have been released for the following versions of NetWorker:

  • 7.6 – Patch cluster 7.6.0.3 released.
  • 7.5.2 – Patch cluster 7.5.2.1 released.
  • 7.4.5 – Patch cluster 7.4.5.56 released.

As per usual, these haven’t been released to PowerLink, but can be requested via your authorised support partner. Remember that cumulative patch clusters don’t contain any new features – they’re just accumulated key bug fixes. If you’re having any issues with either your current 7.6.0.x, 7.5.2 or 7.4.5.x install, you may want to talk to your support partner about the fixes included in those cumulative patch clusters.

[Edit - 2010-03-26] Apologies, I meant to say that cumulative patch cluster 7.4.5.6 had been released for the 7.4.5 tree, not 7.4.5.5.

 

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.
