Re: [Networker] 7.1.1->7.3.3 upgrade has gone horribly wrong

As another datapoint, I can back up the NSR server to its own
storage. So it's not _totally_ broken.

I wanted to remove our our Networker server, an E450 running
Solaris 8 and Networker 7.1.1. The only storage is a couple of
local disk devices (bootstraps and index backups go there, then are
cloned to remote tape, as a workaround for the networker server not
having tape devices).
The replacement is a V240 running Solaris 10 and Networker 7.3.3
(7.4 seems a bit new).
Tape storage is on a distinct node, Solaris 10 + 7.1.1, driving an
ADIC 100. I intend to upgrade that to 7.3.3 or 7.4 when the main
networker node is finished.
I installed the relevant packages on the V240, moved /var/nsr over,
set up an entry for the networker server, applied all the new
licenses against the new host id, made sure that the server
references itself as the license server.
And nothing works.
My test client is running Solaris 10 and 7.3.3, but I have a
mixture of 7.3.3, 7.1.1 and one 6.1.4 (Sparc 10, which won't run 7).
There are no error messages. I can start a group using nmc, and
all the client savesets go into `contacting client' state, and then
hang. save is sometimes started on the remote client, but makes no
progress. Nothing is logged client, server, nmc. I can see the
storage server from the NMC, and nsrjb -s backup-srv works from the
storage server, so I'm confident the various machines are seeing
each other. If I deliberately break the pool the test backup is
going into, so that the Default pool would be selected (which has
no media in it) then I get messages telling me to load a Default
piece of media. But if the saveset matches a valid pool, there is
total silence.
Fortunately I have the E450 on ice, so I can simply revert to that
at any time. But if anyone has helpful hints, please let me have
them!
