The easiest way to do this, (since the servers must be conserved) is an
in-place upgrade.  Before you do this, make sure that Service Pack 6 is
installed, along with the DS411P.EXE patch for NetWare 4.11 NDS found in the
Novell Minimum Patch List at http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm.

I would make a couple of backups of the NDS data before and after these
upgrades, and make sure they work.  Once you know they do, proceed to
install NetWare 5 on top of NetWare 4.11 by using the in-place upgrade
option.

Hope it helps,

Hei der.

Du m� se bedre p� TID2934033. Dette er akkurat det du m� gj�re. Les
dokumentet n�ye og f�lg det. Skal du ha den den samme strukturen p� den nye
serveren , bruk dette dokumentet. Viktig at du f�lger det som er nevnt om
Backup.ds p� system-omr�det. Denne fila skal du bruke til � restore NDS'en
p� den nye serveren. Du m� da v�re p�logget p� den gamle serveren mens du
lager en restore av NDS'en til sys:\system\backup.ds.
NB: meget VIKTIG:: Du m� kopiere denne filen til et annet omr�de f�r du
eventuellt restorer den agmle serveren igjen (Hvis du m� starte den igjen)
Har du lagt tilbake NDS'en fra denne filen kan du bruke den bare 1 gang.
Etterp� er den �delagt.
Det er ogs� viktg at du ikke legger tilbake omr�der som EtC, PUBLIC, SYSTEM,
MAIL slik det st�r i dette dokumentet.

Og husk at NDS'en  m� v�re frisk og uten feilmeldinger. Ellers g�r det rett
til h....

The easiest way to do this is to move the disk partitions (the DOS one
and the Netware one) to the new disk with "Norton Ghost for Netware"
www.ghost4nw.com addjust the startup.ncf so that it contains the correct
diskdrivers. 

Check and make sure that the server starts up in the right way.

Now do the upgrade to NW5

Make sure to make a backup before this operation :-)
