24.2 Understanding the Upgrade Process

During the upgrade to from an earlier version of Novell Vibe 4 to Vibe 4.0.5 or later, the following aspects of your Vibe system are modified:

  • The software is upgraded to the new Vibe version.

  • A backup copy of your existing Vibe 4.x installation is created in the following directory:

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/teaming/teaming-backup

    Windows:

    C:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\teaming-backup

    If your original Vibe system began with version 1.0 (this version of Novell Vibe is called Novell Teaming), the backup copy is located in the following directory:

    Linux:

    /opt/icecore

    Windows:

    C:\Program Files\icecore

  • The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) software that you installed to support the previous version of Vibe is replaced by a customized version of OpenJDK located in /opt/novell/teaming/jre.

    Using a separate JDK and JRE is no longer required, nor is it supported.
