ProcedureTo Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition From Zip Distribution

Before You Begin

There is no different procedure to upgrade the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation rather the dsee_deploy command automatically updates the installation if it finds any previous installation. But in case of SuSE Linux 9 and HP-UX, before upgrading the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation, you must upgrade the operating system to SuSE Linux 9 SP4 and HP-UX 11.23 respectively. Refer to the following procedure to successfully upgrade your Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation to 6.3.

  1. Stop cacao, Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server running instances that are created using the installation going to be patched. Also stop application server for WAR file and the DSCC registry.

  2. In case of SuSE Linux 9 and HP-UX, upgrade your operating system.

    • Upgrade SuSE Linux 9 SP3 to SuSE Linux 9 SP4 to upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 installation to 6.3.

      On SuSE 64-bit, .pam-32bit-9-yyyymmddhhmm.rpm is a prerequisite for cacao to start. You must install it if not already present on your system.

    • Upgrade HP-UX 11.11 to HP-UX 11.23 to upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 or 6.1 installation to 6.3.

    Please refer to the corresponding documentation on how to upgrade the operating system, how to preserve the partition where Directory Server Enterprise Edition is installed, where to get the latest patch bundles.

  3. Upgrade Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3.

    • Use the dsee_deploy command from Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 zip distribution, with the same install-path, and cacao port that you had for your previous installation. The dsee_deploy command will restart cacao and DSCC registry.
