Installing or Upgrading Novell eDirectory on Linux 53novdocx (en) 22 June 2009 “Non Root User's Instances” on page 53 “Order of Upgrade” on page 53Root User has Multiple InstancesIf you run nds-install after doing the package upgrade, it will prompt you asking “The DIB of all theNovell eDirectory Server instances need to be upgraded. This may take long time to complete. Ifyou wish to perform the DIB upgrade parallely, you could do it manually (Refer the readme). Doyou wish to continue with the DIB upgrade for all the active instances one by one?”If you select this, it will run “ndsconfig upgrade” for all the instances one by one. In case of largerDIBs, you can select “no” here and run “ndsconfig upgrade” parallely in separate shells. It wouldhelp reducing the time of each instances.Non Root User's InstancesIf you have non root user's instances which are using root user's binaries, then before doing thepackage upgrade you need to run “ndscheck” for all those instances and make sure that their healthis proper by referring ndscheck.log. If you run nds-install, it will stop all the instances including nonroot user's instances. After doing the package upgrade, nds-install won't call “ndsconfig upgrade”for non root user's instances. We need to run “ndsconfig upgrade” for all non root user's instancesmanually. This will start those instances.Order of UpgradeWhile running “ndsconfig upgrade”, we need to follow the order in which master replica comes firstand then R/W or other replicas. Otherwise upgrade fails.3.5.7 Disk Space Check on Upgrading to eDirectory SP5When eDirectory server is upgraded from previous versions to eDirectory 8.8 SP5, the disk spacecheck for the DIB upgrade would be performed. The free disk space necessary in the file system,where the DIB resides would be equal to that of the DIB size. The messages of the disk space checkwould be updated in the ndscheck.log located in the instance's specific log directory. For defaultinstance, /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/log/ndscheck.log.NOTE: The disk space check is required only during the DIB upgrade process.
