Upgrade Utility

Novell Native File Access Protocols Installation and Administration Guide
This utility creates an eDirectory object with the name
NISSERV_Servername by default or whatever name was specified with the -
s option. NIS Server uses this object to store the domains served by the NIS
Server. NIS Server validates every request against the list of domains
specified in this object. It serves the request only when the domain in the
request is present in the above list. The syntax is as follows:
nisinst [-s name] [-x context]
The parameter -s is optional. It specifies the name to be given to the nisserver
object. The parameter -x is also optional. It specifies the context where the
object should be created in eDirectory.
Run the NISINST manually, if the nisserver object is deleted.
IMPORTANT:
If directory services are removed, you need to comment the
SEARCH ROOT parameter in NFS.CFG and do the following:
nfsstop
schinst
nisinst
nfsstart
The upgrade utility (NFAUUPGR.NLM) is automatically invoked to upgrade
the default configuration of NetWare NFS Services 2.x or 3.0 when you
choose Native File Access for UNIX while upgrading the operating system
from NetWare 4.x or NetWare 5.x to NetWare 6.
When invoked during installation, the upgrade utility retains the existing
configuration into the new configuration files, NFS.CFG, NIS.CFG, and
NFSSERV.CFG located in SYS:\ETC. The existing configuration files
NFSTHOST, and NFSEXPRT are retained.
During installation, if N4S schema is detected, then some of the features
available for the UAM schema will not be available. Some such features are,
multiple domain support, RFC2307 compliance for NIS, starting and stopping
NIS services from ConsoleOne. To enable these features, you need to extend
the new schema by executing schinst -n.
