Make sure that you have done the following before you proceed with the installation:
If your server is running version of SSL VPN earlier than Novell SSL VPN 3.0 SP4, you must upgrade it first to SP4.
Identify the way in which SSL VPN SP4 was installed. Download the relevant upgrade file from Novell and extract the file. For the actual filename, see the Readme.
Upgrade the Administration Console, Identity Server and Linux Access Gateway in the recommended sequence. For more information, see Before Starting the Upgrade
and Upgrading the SP4 SSL VPN Server
in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP1 Installation Guide.
If you have installed high bandwidth SSL VPN, make sure you download and install the high bandwidth SSL VPN RPM. With this release, SSL VPN has a high bandwidth RPM that needs to be installed once to get its capabilities This RPM should be installed before upgrading the SSL VPN server. For information on how to install the high bandwidth SSL VPN RPM, see Section 4.5, Installing the RPM Containing Key For High Bandwidth SSL VPN.
The Access Manager Administration Console must be up and running before you begin upgrading SSL VPN servers. Do not perform any configuration tasks in the Administration Console during an SSL VPN Server upgrade.
If the SSL VPN server was installed on a separate machine, refer to Section 5.3, Upgrading SSL VPN Installed on a Separate Machine. If the SSL VPN server was installed with the other Novell Access Manager components, the SSL VPN server is automatically upgraded along with the other component.
