Before converting NetWare clusters to the latest OES release, you must apply all of the latest service packs and patches. See Upgrading NetWare Clusters
in the NW6.5 SP8: Novell Cluster Services 1.8.5 Administration Guide.
If you have a NetWare 6.5 SP7 or earlier cluster, you must upgrade all nodes to NetWare 6.5 SP8 (with the latest service packs and patches) before you convert any nodes to OES or add OES nodes to the cluster. See Upgrading NetWare Clusters
in the NW6.5 SP8: Novell Cluster Services 1.8.5 Administration Guide.
