Hi,
what is the exact error message?

I installed the 9.06 patch, but the EndOfSession not run after…
Hi Laszlo,
it seems to be the same error with notifications. As far as I know there is already a hotfix available for that.
In order to receive the file, you need to open a case.

Pingback: RUNBOOK – Migrate Data Protector 7.0x to Data Protector 9.0x
While perfoming update from 9.04 to 9.06, the Installer finished with “Some Services startet with warnings or errors.” and “Timeout reached before Data Protector CRS started.”. The CRS Service was down and could not be started. After rebooting the machine, this problem went away
I had this error with DP 8.1.
If you open windows application logs, you can see that DP is required a system restart.
This holds true for 9.07 upgrade as well.
