Setting Up Novell Storage Services
Updating NSS Volumes
After you upgrade to NetWare
®
6 and reboot the server, you need to update
your NSS volumes. NSS volumes from previous releases will not function
until you update them to NetWare 6 volumes—they do not upgrade
automatically.
Checking the NDS Status
Before you update NSS volumes, you must ensure that NDS
®
is running
properly; otherwise, the upgrade process might remove your trustees. To
check ensure NDS is running, you need to check the time stamp for the
backlink process.
