(Conditional) If you are upgrading a target server that does not have NICI
installed, copy the NetWare 6 NICI file to your target server. Do one of
the following:
If you copied the NetWare 6 CD files in Step 1 on page 13, create
directory named License at the root of the copied NetWare 6
Operating System CD and then copy the #.NFK file from the
NetWare 6 License/Cryptography diskette to the newly created
License directory.
If you mounted the NetWare 6 Operating System CD, rename the
#.NFK file to NICIFK (no extension is needed) and then copy the
#.NFK to the SYS:SYSTEM directory on every target server that you
plan to upgrade that does not have the NICI installed.
3 (Optional) Specify disk drivers manually.
Although not recommended, you can load disk drivers that are not
provided on the NetWare 6 Operating System CD or bypass the hardware
auto-detection used while running NetWare Accelerated Upgrade. For
more information, see “Specifying Disk Drivers Manually” on page 20.
4 (Optional) Customize the NetWare Accelerated Upgrade script files.
WARNING: Customizing the installation process could affect the way that
NetWare 6 is installed. This might result in an upgrade failure and might make your
server unusable.
Customizing script files lets you add more menu options or install
additional software or patches that are not standard features of the
NetWare 6 installation.
For information on using script files, see "Upgrading an Enterprise Using
the NetWare Accelerated Upgrade" (AppNotes, April 1999) at the Novell
Developer Net Web site (http://developer.novell.com/research/
completearchive.htm).
When the source server is ready, continue with the next section, "Prepare the
Target Server."
