Novell NetWare 5.1. NetWare install creates a Response.NI file to capture installation settings that the administrator chooses during the. September 5, 2000 Novell Confidential Manual Rev 99a 28 22 June 00 Installation and Upgrade Options Several options are available for installing or upgrading to NetWare 5.1. If you have specific tasks in mind as you begin to use NetWare 5.1, refer to the following chart for references to relevant documentation.
![]() C.5 Starting an Upgrade
The following sections explain how to start in-place and remote upgrades.
C.5.1 In-Place Upgrades
When you perform an in-place upgrade to NetWare 6.5, both the operating system and eDirectory are upgraded. In addition, only the NetWare products or components that are currently installed are upgraded. Other Novell products that you might have purchased or installed separately (for example, GroupWise® or ZENworks) are not upgraded.
Additionally, the Enterprise server is migrated to the Apache 2 Web server when you upgrade to NetWare 6.5. During the upgrade, the existence of the Enterprise server is verified, and if it exists, information in the Enterprise server's config files is migrated to the Apache 2 server's config files. After the Apache 2 Web server is installed, the Enterprise server is automatically removed.
IMPORTANT:When upgrading a NetWare 5.1 or 6.0 server with the Novonyx Web Server to NetWare 6.5, the document root for the Novonyx Web Server is preserved and not updated to the Apache 2 Web Server document root. Some NetWare 6.5 Web services might not work correctly. To resolve this, review and edit the Apache configuration file, sys:apache2confhttpd.conf.
If you are performing an upgrade, several components are already selected. These are the components currently installed on the server. Leaving the installed components checked reinstalls the products. Unchecking an installed component does not uninstall the product.
HINT:If you attempt to install a new server into your tree at the same time you upgrade another server in the tree to NetWare 6.5, you might have difficulty logging in to the server being upgraded until the other server’s installation is complete.
To begin an upgrade to NetWare 6.5:
![]() C.5.2 Remote Upgrades
One of the features in NetWare is the ability to remotely upgrade any servers in your network. The process is a simple one that can be accomplished in two different ways:
HINT:When you run a remote upgrade, if the source files are located on a remote server, that server must contain a DS replica in order for the server-to-server file copy to run efficiently. If a replica does not exist on the source server, the file copy might revert to a workstation copy, which can be significantly slower over a WAN link.
Remote Upgrade from iManager
Novell iManager 2.6 must be installed and configured in order for remote upgrades to successfully complete using this utility. For information on installation and configuration of iManager, see the Novell iManager 2.7.3 Administration Guide After iManager is installed and configured, complete the following tasks:
NOTE:Performing the remote upgrade from a staging server that contains the NetWare 6.5 installation files is significantly faster than launching from the NetWare 6.5 CD located on the workstation.
After the initial reboot during a remote upgrade, a login screen might display requiring you to log in to the server being upgraded. If this occurs, provide the login information, click Details, type the IP address of the server being upgraded, then click OK.
If Installation/Upgrade tasks fail to run from iManager, you might need to change your security settings.
Remote Uprade from Novell Deployment Manager
NOTE:Performing the remote upgrade from a staging server that contains the NetWare 6.5 Operating System files is significantly faster than launching from the NetWare 6.5 CD located on the workstation.
C.5.3 Accepting the License Agreements
For an upgrade, click I Accept for both license agreements, then continue with Health Check Summary.
Accepting both license agreements means that you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions contained in the license agreements.
C.5.4 Health Check Summary
NetWare performs a health check on your server to determine if an upgrade can proceed without problems. A summary of the checks that were run is displayed including a Success, Warning, or Failure state for each check that was run.
If the health check completes without any Warning or Failure states, the health check summary page does not display. If that is the case, proceed to Back Up Server Files.
A Success or Warning state allows the upgrade to continue. A Failure state stops the upgrade until the problem is resolved.
C.5.5 Back Up Server Files
This page allows you to specify whether to back up your server files. It also lets you select whether to automatically reboot the server after the file copy is complete and gives you the option of a Default or Manual installation.
C.5.6 Installing Additional Components
After the file copy is complete, the Components page displays and you can choose which additional NetWare components to install. To see a description of a component, place the cursor over the component name.
NOTE:Because you are performing an upgrade, several components are already selected. These are the components currently installed on the server. Leaving the installed components selected reinstalls the products.Deselecting an installed component does not uninstall the product.
To select additional components to install:
C.5.7 eDirectory Summary
The eDirectory Summary page is now displayed.
C.5.8 Selecting the Login Method
NMAS™ server components are installed automatically when you run the NetWare 6.5 installation program. You need to select the login methods you want to install.
Select the login methods that you want to install into eDirectory by selecting the appropriate methods on the Novell Modular Authentication Service page. When you select a login method, a description of the component appears in the Description box. For more information on login methods, see
Managing Login and Post-Login Methods and Sequencesin the Novell Modular Authentication Services 3.3 Administration Guide.
The NDS login and Challenge-Response methods are installed by default.
IMPORTANT:The NMAS client software must be installed on each client workstation where you want to use the NMAS login methods. The NMAS client software is included with the Novell Client software.
