NetWorker 7.5.1<\/span> oops sorry, SP1 has been released.<\/p>\n

Previously we’ve seen scenarios where documentation has been updated on PowerLink for up to a couple of weeks before the release of the accompanying product. At the moment though instead we’ve got the reverse; 7.5.1<\/span> oops, sorry, SP1 software is available for download, but no notes … yet.<\/p>\n

I’m downloading now for testing \u2013 I’ve currently held off recommending 7.5 to any customer as yet, preferring to have them stick to 7.4.4 wherever possible. Hopefully the release notes won’t be too far behind, as testing a new service pack without the release notes is a bit hit and miss.<\/p>\n

Important edit – added later but top<\/em><\/p>\n

Important! Covered in the release notes, which I know<\/em> you read, right? If you use scripts that use mminfo, you really, really<\/em> need to be across this. Look at the output from mminfo:<\/p>\n

$ mminfo -s nox -q \"client=archon,name=\/Users\/preston\/tmp\/\"\n\u00a0volume\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 client\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 date\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 size\u00a0\u00a0 level\u00a0 name\nStaging-03\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 archon\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 31\/03\/2009\u00a0 45 MB\u00a0 manual\u00a0 \/Users\/preston\/tmp\/\nStaging-03.RO\u00a0 archon\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 31\/03\/2009\u00a0 45 MB\u00a0 manual\u00a0 \/Users\/preston\/tmp\/<\/pre>\n
That’s right – if you do a manual backup, it doesn’t show up as a ‘blank’ level any more.<\/p>\n
Edit<\/em><\/p>\n
Things that drive me nuts:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Changes that don’t appear in the release notes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Look at this in change to the ‘Sessions’ output in nsrwatch:<\/p>\n
    Sessions:\n\u00a050 MB are saved to pool 'Staging' (Staging-01) of aralathan:\/\n\u00a0nox:\/d\/03 saving to pool 'Staging' (Staging-03) 768 MB<\/pre>\n
    Now, tell me where<\/em> in the Release Notes that this is mentioned. I’ll give you a hint: nowhere.<\/p>\n
    I know some things get forgotten, but it is<\/em> very frustrating when release notes have a “what’s new” section that doesn’t include everything that’s new!<\/p>\n
    Next Edit<\/em><\/p>\n
    Definitely mentioned in the release notes as a fixed bug, as a long-term nsradmin<\/em> user, I’m relieved to see that the bug I logged last year has been fixed \u2013 that being nsradmin<\/em> crashes when you resize the window. If you live in nsradmin<\/em> like I do, this is a handy fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
