To Upgrade Directory Server to Java ES Release 5

Before You Begin

• Obtain the Directory Server administrator user ID and password for your currently installed version. Other configuration information is preserved through the upgrade process.

• Any Java ES components using a Directory Server instance should be shut down and re-configured to access the corresponding new Release 5 instance.

1. Log in as administrator.

2. Shut down the Release 4 Directory Server (5.2) instances.

3. For remote install of Release 5, create a Release 4 image and transfer it to the remote computer, see Create Directory Server Image (Optional).

   Note –

   If the old and the new versions of the Directory Server have been installed on two different machines, an image of the old Directory Server must be created on the same machine where the new Directory Server is installed.

4. Make sure you have upgraded any Java ES components upon which Directory Server and Administration Server have hard upgrade dependencies.
