Microsoft Cluster:

This hotfix must be installed on all nodes of the cluster. After installing this hotfix on the primary node, use the cluster administrator to move the BEWS group to the failover node, and run the installation again for each node of the cluster.


SAN Storage Option (SSO):

Before installing this hotfix on a Backup Exec 11d media server that is using the SSO option first make sure that there are no backup or restore operations running on any of the media servers in the SAN.
Apply the hotfix to the primary SAN SSO server first then to all of the secondary servers.

1. Open the Backup Exec User Interface
2. Click Media Servers
3. Right-click on each MMS and clear the Communication Enabled check box

After the hotfix is installed, enable communication between the CAS and all MMSs:

1. Open the Backup Exec User Interface

Agent for R/3 for Oracle:

After installing this hotfix to the Backup Exec 11d media server, you must reinstall the "Remote Agent for Windows Servers" to all SAP R/3 computers being protected by Backup Exec. To reinstall the Remote Agent, type the following from the SAP R/3 server:


msiexec.exe /p "<path>\SAPR3.msp" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus

In order to see the hotfix(s) that are available first and then choose which to install, it is necessary to change the mode from Express to Interactive. To do this, go to 'Options > Configure' on the initial LiveUpdate screen and change the install mode. The Interactive mode will also allow more details to be seen about each available update before it is installed.
