3.5.2 Upgrading on Linux Servers Other Than OES

If you have eDirectory 8.5.x or 8.6.x, you have to first upgrade to eDirectory 8.7.x and then upgrade
to eDirectory 8.8.
To upgrade to eDirectory 8.8, use nds-install utility. this utility is located in the Setup directory of
the downloaded file for Linux platform. Enter the following command from Setup directory:
./nds-install
After the upgrade to eDirectory 8.8, the default location of the configuration files, data files, and log
files are changed to /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf, /var/opt/novell/
eDirectory/data, and /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/log respectively.
The new directory /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data uses a symbolic link to the /
var/nds directory.
The old configuration file /etc/nds.conf is migrated to /etc/opt/novell/
eDirectory/conf directory. The old configuration file /etc/nds.conf and the old log files
under /var/nds are retained for reference.
NOTE: "ndsconfig upgrade" has to be run after nds-install, if upgrade of the DIB fails and nds-
install asks to do so.
