7.9 Upgrade Utility

The upgrade utility, nfauupg.nlm, is automatically invoked to upgrade the default configuration of NetWare NFS Services 2. x or 3.0 when you select Native File Access for UNIX while upgrading the operating system from NetWare 4. x or NetWare 5. x to NetWare 6. When invoked during installation, the upgrade utility retains the existing configuration in the new configuration files, nfs.cfg, nis.cfg, which are located in sys:\etc.

During installation, if the N4S schema is detected, then the UAM schema is extended automatically to support features such as multiple domain support, RFC2307 compliance for NIS, and starting and stopping NIS services from ConsoleOne.

7.9.1 Upgrading Export Files from NetWare 5.1 / NetWare 6

At system console specify the following command:

perl sys:etc\NFS\NfsExportsUpgrade.pl

When you execute this Perl script, the export file format existing in NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6 is converted to the NetWare 6.5 exports file format. The existing export paths from nfsexprt and nfsthost files are appended to sys:etc/exports file.

The files exported in Independent mode in the previous version are retained in the independent mode. However, the files exported in any other mode such as NFS-NetWare mode, NetWare-NFS mode are converted as NetWare mode.

If the export files from NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6 are not available, then this command exits without doing anything.
