Are there any plans on adding Recovery Solution information? Such as upgrading from RS 6 to 7?
Definitely need some Recovery info!
As Lery said, what about Recovery Solution? Right now I'm considering that to be my biggest hurdle in migrating to NS7 (well that and not having a released version of Local Security Solution 7!). The trick of course (as I understand it) is that you will need to upgrade/migrate the NS to 7, then install RS 7, migrate your RS6 clusters to the NS7 environment, upgrade all the RS 6 servers to RS7, then upgrade all the clients to RS7. We have a very distributed environment with ~6000 clients all over the US backing up to 17 RS single-node clusters in our data center. The logistics of it give me a headache just thinking about it!
From what I've seen, an RS client with a "broken" Altiris Agent will continue taking snapshots against the RS server with the configuration it had at last configuration...but I also understand that this is not a supported configuration (I'm thinking about the period of time when the NS Agent has been upgraded to NS7 agent, but RS has not). I suppose it will be down to a bunch of testing on my part, but some sort of official documentation around this would be VERY helpful.
Thanks,
