RE: [nv-l] Nv 7.1.3 Vs 7.1.4

["Erdey, Raymond M" <Raymond.M.Erdey@erac.com>]

We have two Netview servers running 7.1.3 FP2 and one server running 7.1.4 FP1.

Even though 7.1.4 fixes a lot of issues, it brings with it a feature that kills nvcold once or twice a day at our site (We do a lot of smartset processing in scripts).  The bug manifests itself when you use nvUtil with the evaluate option.  No ETA on when they will have it fixed.

We are on 7.1.4, have not applied the FP. I say start out with the latest version simply for support reasons--unless the newest version is known trouble, which 7.1.4 isn't to my knowledge. NV keeps getting better with each release, and we've been on it since V4. If you plan to integrate with TEC, you definitely want 7.1.4.

 

If you can install fresh and re-discover/build maps, by all means do that. We've never had that luxury, but can say we've upgraded each time, and it seems to be fine. We run our Tivoli apps under AIX, so I can't speak to Solaris. Best of luck to you, and hope this helped.

Hi Folks,

I am to release Netview in our NOC, but I am debating if I should go 7.1.3 with FixPack2 or if I should get the new 7.1.4 with Fixpack1

 

Q1: What is your advice

 

Q2: Should I perform an update or a fresh install? which is better?

 

OS=SOLARIS

Thank You,
Meyos
