Installing Advanced Server for UNIX Installing server software (asxserver package)

4.8.5Upgrade installation of a backup domain controller from Version 3.5 or 4.0

To upgrade a backup domain controller from a previous Advanced Server for UNIX version, proceed as follows. In contrast to an upgrade installation from Version 2.x, the data can be upgraded directly; no conversion has to be done. Normally the upgrade of a backup domain controller does not differ from the upgrade of a primary domain controller.

However there is one known problem during the upgrade of an Advanced Server for UNIX Version 3.5 that was a backup domain controller on a server with a german names for builtin objects (either a german Windows NT Server or an Advanced Server for UNIX Version 4.0 with a german domain language). In this case it can happen that the database is reported corrupt. See the detailed description below.

If the primary domain controller of the domain you want to join is located in a different subnet, you have to ensure that the domain name and the server name of the primary domain controller can be resolved by the local NetBIOS. Please refer to the section “Installing NetBIOS” on how to accomplish this. Although this name resolution is important for the functionality of the backup domain controller, it is needed during the installation only if the database is corrupt.

ÊLog on as system administrator root.

ÊStart the installation procedure as described in the section “Installing from CD-ROM with cdinst”.

ÊSelect the asxserver package under AS/X.
