In-Place Upgrade also allows you to copy or move NetWare files from a NetWare volume to a new NSS volume without losing trustee rights, attributes, resource forks, or name spaces.

• A server running NetWare 5
• Identify the NetWare volumes you want to convert to new NSS volumes
• Back up your data before you copy or move your NetWare volume to NSS
• Make sure you have enough free space for the NSS volume

NOTE:  During In-Place Upgrade, an NSS volume is created inside a NetWare volume using the NetWare provider.

WARNING:  Because an NSS volume is created inside the NetWare volume, if you delete the NetWare volume, you will also delete the NSS volume and its contents.

Use In-Place Upgrade at the server console. You can only do this between volumes on a single server; you cannot copy or move volumes across two or more servers in this release.

When you move or copy a NetWare volume to a new NSS volume, the NSS volume is created automatically.

The commands for transferring NetWare volumes to NSS volumes are as follows:

• ipcu NetWare volume_name

  This command moves an existing NetWare volume to a new NSS volume. The old NetWare volume still exists, but the contents are empty except for the NSS volume (the NetWare volume recognizes it as a file). The new NSS volume resides inside the old NetWare volume. Make sure you have enough space to move the NetWare volume to the new NSS volume.

• ipcu NetWare volume_name NSS volume_name

  This command copies a NetWare volume to a new NSS volume. The contents in the NetWare volume remain intact. The name of the new volume is volume_nss. For example, if the NetWare volume is named users, the new NSS volume will be named users_nss.

• ipcu -d NetWare volume_name NSS volume_name

  This command moves a NetWare volume from a specific location to the new NSS volume. The old NetWare volume still exists, but the contents are empty except for NSS.
