Upgrading from File System Factory 1.2.x

For users currently running File System Factory 1.2.x, here are the simple steps needed to upgrade to Novell Storage Manager 2.0:

  1. It is fine to leave the current version running.
  2. Run the installation executable, the same as if installing new.
  3. When prompted for the installation location, point to the same directory where 1.21 is currently installed (generally sys:factory)
  4. Proceed through the installation, updating schema, creating proxy users, and load the new engine. The old engine will automatically be unloaded and the new loaded.
  5. Copy the NSMAdmin.exe to a local workstation with .NET 1.1 SP1 support. (Refer the new installation instructions for further details on this)
  6. Run NSMAdmin and select "Manage Engine," "Event Servers."
  7. For each server in the "Event Server List" right click and select Upgrade NLM.
  8. At this point the upgrade is complete.
