Because the Java ES Release 5 version of Directory Server represents a major release, you install the new Directory Server version and migrate user and configuration data from the previous Directory Server version. For migrations instructions to the new version, see the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Migration Guide.
