VMS V7.2 upgrade - TCPIP and PWRK

Well it is hard to believe but we are getting closer to actually upgrading our servers from V7.2 to V7.3-2.

Okay, now give me a break - we would like to go to V8.3 but we have some application dependencies that require a bit more effort... so V7.3-2 it is.

I have two concerns that I would like some feedback - one with PWRK and the second with TCPIP.

To begin with, we are bringing another server online (V7.3-2) into our existing V7.2 cluster. We have tested and identified problem areas and have solutions for them. Once the V7.3-2 server is online we plan on moving the V7.2 applicaitons & users over, shutting down the V7.2 servers, upgrade them to V7.3, work on some known hardware issues, etc., then bring the old V7.2 (now V7.3-2) servers back into the cluster.

My understanding is that we need to upgrade A/S (PWRK).
Any ideas& thought on the best solution to upgrade PWRK?

I have installed the TCPIP stack with V8.2 and have had the opportunity to play with the fail over capability. I like. However I believe there are upgrade issues with PROXY configurations? Or is it EXPORT.

Any insight would be helpful!

TIA
