Sun Java Enterprise System 7 Installation and Upgrade Guide

Upgrading from a Package-Based Distribution of DSEE 5.x

Use the following steps to upgrade from the package-based distribution of Directory Server 5.2 and Directory Proxy Server 5.2 (in Java ES 2005Q4) to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1. Note that the upgraded installation is not exactly equivalent to installing the file-based ZIP distribution of version 6.3.1 because it represents a package-based upgrade, not a file-based installation.

  1. Install DSEE 6.0 from Java ES 5.

  2. Upgrade to DSEE 6.3.1. Download and upgrade shared components, and then download and upgrade DS 6.3 by means of patches. Refer to Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1 Release Notes for more information.

  3. Migrate from 5.x to 6.3.1 using the instructions in the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Migration Guide.
