I would just like to Note Adams exceptional service with regards this posting.
But here is the whole answer. I upgraded a AER6.1 device to 8.1.1 networker thus over writing the special coded networker that comes with the device.
This is the solution to the problem.
We did a rpm – Uvh – force of all the below from the /DTO/EMC/networker/rpms (ORIGINAL SPECIAL NETWORKER AER 6.1 NETWORKER VERSION)
lgtoman-7.6.3-1.x86_64.rpm
lgtonmc-7.6.3-1.i686.rpm
lgtonode-7.6.3-1.x86_64.rpm
lgtoserv-7.6.3-1.x86_64.rpm
I then stopped the service and restarted it.
It complained about some errors in the nsrldb. But when I restarted it again it all came up fine.Services started fine no errors. In hind sight Maybe should have renamed the nsrldb before restarting.

Hi Adam
Please can you explain i am new to all of this. We had a networker node for our backups and we have an avamar e node.
I upgraded the networker on our main networker server and on the enode.

Can you clarify whether you are using AER or some other solution for extended retention.
The reason I ask is you cannot upgrade the embedded Networker code within an AER/MAN node.
regards,
Adam

Not sure what you mean by E node.
Do you have an Avamar system configured as a dedup storage node to Networker or do you have an Avamar system which you use outside of Networker?
Whose or what data are you actually writing to Networker?

Can you email me at my EMC address and perhaps we can do a quick WebEx to clarify how Avamar is being used here.
The acronym AER is a specific product from EMC to provide extended retention for Avamar backups but it cannot talk to a separate Networker server.
So I’m still confused how your Avamar system is being used to send backup data to Networker unless it is for Vmimage type backups.
