Novell Documentation: Novell Audit 2.0

You do not need to uninstall the previous version of Nsure™ Audit. To upgrade, simply follow the 2.0 product installation instructions for your respective platform. If the 2.0 product installer detects a previous version, it automatically removes and upgrades the Novell Audit components as necessary.

If an existing Platform Agent configuration file (logevent.cfg or logevent.conf) is found during the upgrade, the installation asks if you want to overwrite the Platform Agent configuration file. Do not overwrite the existing file unless you want your Platform Agent to revert to the default configuration settings.

During an upgrade or install, if iManager 2.0 or newer is found on the system, the Novell Audit 2.0 plug-in is copied to the appropriate iManager directory. To complete the upgrade of the iManager plug-in, please follow the instructions as detailed in Section 6.0, Installing the Novell Audit iManager Plug-In.

If you upgrade an existing eDirectory™ Instrumentation, it could take up to five minutes before the updated Instrumentation reloads. To expedite the loading of the eDirectory Instrumentation Agent, you can manually stop and restart it using the following commands:

On NetWare, if you upgrade an existing NetWare Instrumentation, it could take up to five minutes before the updated Instrumentation reloads. To expedite the loading of the NetWare Instrumentation, you can manually stop and restart it using the following commands:

unload auditnw

load auditnw

On NetWare, if any applications that log events to Novell Audit are executing during the upgrade, the new Platform Agent cannot be updated until your server restarts. To avoid restarting your server after the upgrade completes, shut down any applications dependent on logevent.nlm (such as NetMail® or BorderManager®) before you attempt the Novell Audit upgrade.
