A bug currently exists with the NetWorker client for OS X that causes the startup and shutdown of the NetWorker daemons to take somewhere in the order of 5 minutes for the average machine. Given that IPv6 is enabled by <em>default<\/em> on Mac OS X, this means that a very high proportion of Mac OS X clients that are upgraded will experience this problem.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t pose a problem in normal operations; this startup and shutdown normally occurs in the background for machine boot\/reboot\/shutdown, and thus doesn\u2019t impact the time taken for a machine to start or shutdown \u2013\u00a0however, where it does pose an inconvenience is for an administrator working on the command line who needs to debug or test issues on a Mac OS X client. Indeed, the shutdown takes long enough that at least 50% of the time it times out and the nsrexecd processes need to be manually killed.<\/p>\n<p>There are three options that administrators can choose to perform:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Delay deployment of NetWorker 7.5 on Mac OS X until the release of 7.5 SP1, where this issue is going to be fixed. (A 7.4.x client will communicate successfully with a 7.5 server.)<\/li>\n<li>Accept the shutdown\/startup delay for the time being and document it so that backup and system administrators are aware of the implications for the time being.<\/li>\n<li>Disable IPv6 on affected clients until the release of NetWorker 7.5 SP1. This can be done using the command: ip6 -x\u00a0 on the affected Mac OS X machines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a big inconvenience, but it\u2019s one to be aware of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released in December 2008, NetWorker 7.5 represents an incremental increase in NetWorker functionality mainly aimed at the following three
