With this release, you cannot install a NetWare 6 server into a partition that has all of its replicas on a NetWare 4 server if that server will get a replica of the partition.
If you are installing into a tree that has NetWare 5 servers, each NetWare 5.0 server must be running NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 6a or later. Each NetWare 5.1 server must be running NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 2a or later.
For information on preparing an existing tree for a NetWare 6 installation, see "Updating the eDirectory Schema for NetWare" in Chapter 1, "Installing and Upgrading Novell eDirectory," of the Novell eDirectory Administration Guide.
You can also use NetWare Deployment Manager to prepare your tree for installation.
When installing a NetWare 6 server into a pure NetWare 4 tree, clicking the Browse button on the eDirectory installation screen to search for a context will not return a list of available containers. You must type the context where you want to install the NetWare 6 server into the tree.
A persistent search operation might not retrieve the updated information if entries in the eDirectory database change frequently.
For information on additional eDirectory issues for this release, see TID #10063534 in the Novell Support Connection Knowledgebase.
