IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START!

NetWorker 19.x provides new features and improvements for Ease of Use, Reliability, Availability, Serviceability and Java Enablement over previous NetWorker versions. See NetWorker 19.x Release materials for more information. IMPORTANT: Dell EMC now separately offers NetWorker Runtime Environment (NRE) which provides critical functionality for Java with NetWorker (see below for more info).

Customers who have been successful with installing, upgrading, and configuring NetWorker 19.x and 18.x have engaged DELL EMC Professional Services and/or used the available free training. If unprepared, you might encounter issues including backup failures during and after upgrading from earlier NetWorker releases.

To request DELL EMC Professional Services, contact a DELL EMC Sales representative. (1-866-GET-EMC2) For more information about available services, go to the DELL EMC Service Offering Index and search for NetWorker (select Filter > N > NetWorker).

** Note: Professional Services assistance is recommended when first upgrading to a NetWorker 19.x, 18.x (from an older NetWorker version). Applying a new cumulative to an existing NetWorker 19.x or 18.x version does not require Professional Services assistance.

DELL EMC Security and Technical Advisories (DTA/DSA) The latest Security and Technical advisories are available at https://support.emc.com/kb/521706

Latest 19.x Cumulative Releases The latest 19.x cumulative release is 19.1.1.3 Build 135 released on February 06, 2020.

Latest 19.x Major Releases The latest 19.x release is 19.2 Build 117 was released on November 15, 2019. Customers should consider the additional fixes available in cumulative releases (when available) when determining the most appropriate release for their environment.

NetWorker Target Code NetWorker 19.1.1* declared Target Code.

Java Enablement via NetWorker Runtime Environment (NRE) version 8.0.x “NRE version 8.0.3 - Provides support for latest JRE version provided by Oracle."

NetWorker Runtime Environment (NRE) provides an installer package to deliver the supported Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for NetWorker and a Java application to launch NMC.

New versions of NRE (available for Windows and Linux) are posted in the NetWorker downloads section (https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/networker/drivers Search for ‘NetWorker Runtime Environment’). New versions will be noted in https://support.emc.com/kb/533868.

For more information about Java Enablement via NRE, refer to the NetWorker Runtime Environment KB article

https://support.emc.com/kb/533770, NetWorker Runtime Environment Readme Guide, NetWorker Installation

Guide and NetWorker Release Notes available at https://support.emc.com/products/1095_NetWorker/Documentation/ It is recommended that customers use the latest NRE which is provided as part of the NetWorker product entitlement, however customers are free to continue to use the JRE 8 version they have licensed directly from Oracle. Existing NetWorker users that wish to use NRE should reference the NetWorker Runtime

Environment Readme Guide for details on the upgrade.

NetWorker Runtime Environment is versioned starting at 8.0.x since NRE currently provides Java 8. The Java version provided with NRE will not directly correspond to Java updates, however new NRE versions will be released with Java updates as necessary.

TRAINING and RESOURCES NetWorker Troubleshooting Tool (NTT)

Dell EMC provides the NetWorker Troubleshooting Tool (NTT) as a back-end solution which helps NetWorker users identify potential network problems that could affect NetWorker backup. Data from a production server will be backed up to NetWorker Server over the network. Any problem with the network may break the backup, cloning or recovery job. The NetWorker Troubleshooting Tool (NTT) helps NetWorker users identify potential network problems which may affect NetWorker functionality (NVT) and other tools to help identify issues with the NetWorker Server (nsrpchk), vProxy server (vProxy Health Check) and log gathering (nsrget). Currently the tool is not supported on NVE. NTT incorporates 6 tools into one GUI interface: Network Validation Test – Testing network connectivity of a NetWorker Datazone NetWorker Proactive Check Tool (NSRPCHK) – Provides status of last DR, daemon status, warnings from logs and possible OS issues. vProxy Health Check Tool – vProxy health check utility provides an automated, efficient and human readable way to perform first-step/basic self-diagnostic for NetWorker VMware Protection (NVP) appliance. NSRDDRCHK – The NetWorker cross check tool (nsrddrchk) provides the ability to perform cross checks between the NetWorker media database (MMDB) and Data Domain mtree contents. SIGT – System Information Gathering Tool – Allows you to log in to a remote host and collect system details. NSRGET – Provides log gathering and reporting for issues. The NTT tool is available for download at https://support.emc.com/products/1095_NetWorker/Tools/ for both Windows and Linux operating systems. The NTT user documentation is included within the NTT tool.
