NetWorker Fast Start: Beyond 7.6
Hi Guys,
NetWorker Fast Start 7.6 officially goes GA today and the binaries just hit PowerLink. Allan has already posted a release summary to the community so I won't rehash that here, but what I would like to do is to check in on what you guys would like to see in 2010. Planning for NWFS.next is well under way, so now's the perfect time to chime in on feature/function that you think the Fast Start team should be working on.
A couple of questions that I like to ask NWFS customers to get the ball rolling..
- How did the install go? Was it successful on the first attempt? What could we do to make it more reliable?
- How long did the entire install process take? What could we do to streamline the process?
- What about the configuration of application modules? Did the NWFS wizard take care of all necessary config?
- SharePoint anyone?
- How did application discovery and remote deployment go? Any manual steps required there?
Any and all feedback greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul

I just upgraded from 7.5.1 to 7.6., the install was smooth as can be. I was done in a couple of minutes and it installed on the first attempt.

Jason - Great to hear that it went smoothly.Feel free to send me a note if there's every anything that you think should be changed/improved.
Mind if I ask what motivated the upgrade to 7.6?
Thanks.

I have two question regardings virtualizaiton and how it works with NetWorker Fast Start. 1. I'm trying to find a white paper or something that explain this but so far have been unsuccessful. Could someone point me in the right direction. 2. Attached is a screenshot, could someone explain to me what the exclamation point is all about? Is it a license issue? Thanks.

Hi Jason,
Check out this whitepaper on PowerLink regarding VMware protection with NetWorker 7.5. Most of it still rings true, although in 7.6 we did add the capability to restore files from image backups on Windows. You can read about this new functionality in the 7.6 Admin Guide in the section on support for VMware.
Regarding the exclamation point that you're seeing, we don't require additional licensing in order to use the VMware visualization map so that's not a licensing issue. Based on the screen shot it looks like you're not connecting to vCenter for some reason. Check the Admin Guide for the configuration steps there.
