Upgrading From Netra i to Netra j

Upgrading from a Netra i system to a Netra j system means a shift of emphasis in the capabilities of the server.

• Netra i systems provide only NIS client capabilities, whereas Netra j servers provide NIS server capabilities. For example, a Netra i site with local user accounts must become NIS user accounts for login through JavaStation systems.

• ISDN Internet access, considered central to a Netra i server, is no longer available to the Netra j server.

Netscape Navigator Requirement

Netscape Navigator is required for systems upgrading from Netra i versions 3.1 and 3.2 that support Netscape Enterprise Server(TM) and FireWall First!.

Local Name Service

The following information affects systems upgrading from Netra i 3.1 and Netra j 1.1.

Before completing the initial configuration steps on the Netra j 2.0 software, check the Netra j host name from the Local Name Service module, under Name Services.

If the Netra j host name is mapped to the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1), you must delete this reference to the host name machine. In such cases, you must add a separate host-to-IP address mapping that maps the host name of the Netra j server to the IP address of the network interface that is used to provide boot services to the JavaStation client or network computer.
