5.6 Upgrading a Backup Domain Controller, Member Server, or Standalone Server

This section lists and describes the steps you use to upgrade a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), member server, or standalone server.

The sections following this table describe each step in detail

Table 5-5 Steps to Upgrading a Backup Domain Controller, Member Server, or Standalone Server
Step Section
1. Step 1: Enter Domain Information (Optional).
2. Step 2: Enter PDC Information.
3. Step 3: Log on to the PDC and Create SAM Database Files.

6. Step 6: Start and Track the Upgrade.

5.6.1 Upgrading in a Wide Network Environment

When upgrading a PATHWORKS LAN Manager server as a backup domain controller in a domain where the primary domain controller is in a different TCP/IP subnet, you must ensure that the primary domain controller's address is in the LMHOST file on the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server. If this is the first time you activate the use of LMHOST, you must restart the file server.

If your domain configuration spans a wide area network, you must configure your servers running TCP/IP.

Note

If you already installed the PATHWORKS Advanced Server server and it is running an upgrade as part of this installation, in addition to using the LMHOST file, you can choose to use WINS to locate the primary domain controller. Refer to the section on the PATHWORKS Configuration Manager in the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Server Administrator's Guide for further details on how to configure the WINS server on the network.

5.6.2 Start the Upgrade Utility

Start the Upgrade utility, as follows:

  1. From the OpenVMS account, change the default directory to SYS$UPDATE:


    $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE 
    

  2. At the system prompt, enter:


    $ @PWRK$V6UPGRADE 
    

    The system then displays transport messages and prompts you for the role of the server you are upgrading. For example:


    Will this server be upgraded as a BDC? [no] 
    

  3. Enter Yes if you are upgrading a BDC, member server, or standalone server.
    The system displays the Program Initialization Dialog Box and displays the Main screen as shown in the following figure.

    Figure 5-19 Main Screen


  4. Select the Continue button to go to the Domain Information screen.

5.6.3 Step 1: Enter Domain Information (Optional)

If you are not changing domains, select the Continue button to advance to the Primary Domain Controller Information screen.

The Domain Information Screen allows you to change domains.

To change domain information, follow these steps:

  1. From the Main screen, select the Continue button. The Upgrade utility displays the Domain Information screen, as shown in the following figure.

    Figure 5-20 Domain Information Screen

  3. Enter the Domain name for the PATHWORKS Advanced Server.
  4. If you are changing domains, select the Domain button or select Continue to advance to the next screen. The system prompts you to confirm the domain name change.
  5. Select OK to confirm the name change.
  6. Select the Continue button to advance to the next screen.

5.6.4 Step 2: Enter PDC Information

When you upgrade a BDC, the Upgrade utility requires that you make a connection to the PDC. This step lets you enter PDC information as follows:

  1. From the Domain Information screen, select the Continue button. The Upgrade utility displays the Primary Domain Controller Information screen, as shown in the following figure.

    Figure 5-21 Primary Domain Controller Information Screen


  2. Enter the PDC node name. If your PDC is an OpenVMS cluster, use the cluster alias.
  3. Enter the Password for the privileged account.
  4. Re-enter the Password to verify it.
  5. Select the Continue button to advance to the next screen.

5.6.5 Step 3: Log on to the PDC and Create SAM Database Files

After you enter PDC information, follow these steps to log on to the PDC, as follows:

    Figure 5-22 Log On to PDC and Create Database Files Screen


  2. Select the Logon button to log on to the PDC.
  3. Select the Create button to create the SAM database files. The system displays the Program Initialization dialog box and creates and initializes the database files.

Now you are ready to upgrade users, groups, and other server upgrade objects.

5.6.6 Step 4: Select Objects to Upgrade

To select objects to upgrade, follow these steps:

  1. From the Log On to PDC and Create SAM Database Files screen, select the Continue button. The Upgrade utility displays the Select V5 Objects to Upgrade to V6 screen as shown in the following figure.

  2. Select the check boxes next to the objects that you want to upgrade. You can upgrade them one at a time or all at once.
  3. Select the Continue button to advance to the next screen.

Note

The Miscellaneous option refers to security parameters, such as password length or age, and security on devices, such as printers and CD-ROM drives. These settings are upgraded when you start the upgrade if you selected the Miscellaneous option. You do not need to create an upgrade report for the miscellaneous option.

5.6.7 Step 5: Create and Edit Upgrade Reports for Selected Objects

Refer to Appendix B, Resolving Log File Error Messages, in this guide, for more information about how to edit User reports.

Note

The User report is used as input to the Group report; therefore, you must edit the User report before you create the Group report.

If you are upgrading a BDC into an existing domain that already has a PDC, or if you are upgrading a standalone server to a BDC, all users in the User report and groups in the Group report will be merged into the PDCs user/group database. If there are users or groups you do not want to merge into the PDC, comment them out of the Upgrade report.

After you finish editing the User report, exit the editor and the system returns you to the Generating Upgrade Reports screen. Now you can create and edit the Group report.
