Novell eDirectory 8.6 for NetWare

Installing into an Existing Tree
With this release, you cannot install a NetWare 6 server into a partition that
has all of its replicas on a NetWare 4 server if that server will get a replica of
the partition.
If you are installing into a tree that has NetWare 5 servers, each NetWare 5.0
server must be running NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 6a (http://
support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw) or later. Each NetWare 5.1 server
must be running NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 2a (http://support.novell.com/
misc/patlst.htm#nw) or later.
Distributing Proper Versions of DSREPAIR to All Servers in the Tree
For information on preparing an existing tree for a NetWare 6 installation, see
"Updating the eDirectory Schema for NetWare" in Chapter 1, "Installing and
Upgrading Novell eDirectory," of the Novell eDirectory Administration
Guide.
You can also use NetWare Deployment Manager to prepare your tree for
installation.
Installing into a NetWare 4 Tree
When installing a NetWare 6 server into a pure NetWare 4 tree, clicking the
Browse button on the eDirectory installation screen to search for a context will
not return a list of available containers. You must type the context where you
want to install the NetWare 6 server into the tree.
Persistent Search Operations
A persistent search operation might not retrieve the updated information if
entries in the eDirectory database change frequently.
