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.
Is there a powerlink article where you can see which bugs have been fixed in the cumulative patch cluster? I will never ever understand why EMC keeps infos about patch clusters a secret like national treasure.
Hi Otmar,
I agree – I wish they’d release the cumulative patch cluster information as an official, formal document detailing the list of fixed issues. Unfortunately, the document that I get as a support partner is very informal and I don’t believe it to be shareable – hence my need to just advise people if they’re using those core releases and having issues to talk to their support people. Hopefully this is something that will be addressed over time by EMC…
Cheers,
Preston.
