Preparing Servers Running ZENworks for Server 2 (Conditional)
If the server is running ZENworks for Servers 2, you must install ZENworks
for Servers 2 Support Pack 1 prior to upgrading the server to NetWare 6.
ZENworks for Servers 2 Support Pack and related information can be
obtained from Novell Technical Support (htttp://support.novell.com).
Verify a Valid DOS Partition
Your NetWare server uses the DOS partition to start the computer and load
NetWare. Many of the existing NetWare startup files will be replaced with
new NetWare 6 files. In addition, the DOS partition must exceed the minimum
amount of available space to accommodate new NetWare 6 files.
If the DOS partition does not have enough available space, you cannot
upgrade the server. You must create a new DOS partition and install a new
server. See “Setting Up NetWare 6” on page 27.
HINT: If your computer does not meet the minimum requirements, you might try
using the Novell Migration Wizard utility to migrate data to another computer. For
more information, see www.novell.com/documentation.
Access the Installation Files
NetWare 6 can be upgraded from the server’s local CD drive or from
installation files located on the network. To access the NetWare 6 installation
files, complete the following steps.
1 Insert the NetWare 6 Operating System CD and boot the computer.
2 Complete one of the following:
If the computer boots from the CD, follow the on-screen prompts and
skip to “Selecting the Language and Accepting the License
Agreement” on page 36.
If the computer does not boot from the CD, continue with the
following steps.
3 Boot your computer with DOS 3.3 or later.
4 Access the NetWare 6 Operating System CD.
If you install CD drivers to the disk drive, make sure that the logical
filename of your CD drive (specified in the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files) is not CDROM or CDINST.
