If you have eDirectory 8.5.x or 8.6.x, you have to first upgrade to eDirectory 8.7x and then upgrade to eDirectory 8.8.
./ nds-install
NOTE:Upgrade LUM to 2.1.2 if an older version is installed on the system.
After the upgrade to eDirectory 8.8, the default location of the configuration files, data files, and log files are changed to /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf, /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data, and /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/log respectively.
The new directory /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data uses a symbolic link to the /var/nds directory.
The old configuration file /etc/nds.conf is migrated to /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf directory. The old configuration file /etc/nds.conf is renamed to /etc/nds.conf_pre88 and the old log files under /var/nds are retained for reference.
NOTE:“ndsconfig upgrade” has to be run after nds-install, if upgrade of the DIB fails and nds-install asks to do so.
NOTE:Health check fails due to time sync. To resolve this issue, perform a time sync between the instances. You can ignore this warning message during upgrade.
