(Conditional) If you are upgrading a server in a multiserver tree that is
clustered, do the following:
3a Run the NetWare Deployment Manager utility (NWDEPLOY.EXE),
located at the root of the NetWare 6 Operating System CD.
3b Click Network Preparation > Prepare a Novell Cluster for Upgrade.
4 Run DSREPAIR > Time Synchronization at the server console of the
target server. If you encounter any NDS
®
synchronization errors, make
sure you resolve these before continuing.
5 Mount all volumes.
If you have experienced disk errors in the past, you might want to run
VREPAIR on all of the volumes on the server to ensure that there are no
errors.
6 Verify that your target server can communicate with your staging server
and your client workstation.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the client workstation, target server, and staging
server share the same protocol (IPX
TM
or IP).
If you have problems here, refer to “Troubleshooting Server-to-Server
Connections” on page 21.
7 Make sure that you have the Supervisor right to the container where the
target server resides.
When the target server is ready, continue with the next section, "Prepare the
Network."

Because you cannot use NetWare Accelerated Upgrade to upgrade the first
server in a multiserver tree to NetWare 6, you must do an inplace upgrade on
one server in your tree. Once there is a server in your tree running NetWare 6,
you can safely upgrade the rest of your servers using NetWare Accelerated
Upgrade.
For instructions on performing an inplace upgrade, refer to Chapter 3,
"Upgrade to NetWare 6" in the NetWare 6 Overview and Installation Guide.
If you are upgrading a server in a single-server tree to NetWare 6, you can use
NetWare Accelerated Upgrade; however, you will need to manually extend
the NDS schema after the upgrade. If you want the schema updated
automatically, it is best to do an inplace upgrade.
