Before you can upgrade from servers running BCC 1.0 (NetWare only) or BCC 1.1 SP1 for NetWare to BCC 1.2.1 for OES 2 SP2 Linux, you must upgrade the operating system and Novell Cluster Services on each server in every cluster to NetWare 6.5 SP8 with the latest patches, then upgrade the BCC software in the clusters to BCC 1.1 SP2 for NetWare.
For information about upgrading BCC in NetWare clusters, see Upgrading Business Continuity Clustering for NetWare
in the BCC 1.1 SP2: Administration Guide for NetWare 6.5 SP8.
IMPORTANT:Every cluster node in each cluster in your business continuity cluster must be upgraded to BCC 1.1 SP2 for NetWare before you begin converting the NetWare clusters to OES 2 SP2 Linux.
Make sure your hardware and shared storage meet the requirements for BCC 1.2.1 for OES 2 SP2 Linux. For information, see Section 4.1, Requirements for BCC 1.2.1 for OES 2 SP2 Linux.
