Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 provides the option of updating an existing system to the new version without completely reinstalling it.
For more information on Upgrading, see Upgrading to OES 2 SP3
in the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide
After the upgrade is completed, configure CIFS using the yast2 novell-cifs command.
IMPORTANT:If you want to enable subtree search on a server that has been upgraded from OES2SP1 to OES2SP3, it is important to add the contexts to the cifsctxs.conf file using yast2 novell-cifs command or by using iManager.
This is required to assign the required rights for the cifs proxy user over the specified contexts.
