7.1.1 About Previously Installed Packages (RPMs)
Other Novell
®
products, such as GroupWise
®
, and third-party applications that you have installed
are treated differently by default when you upgrade an OES server, depending on the version of the
server you are upgrading:
Š
OES 1: Applications are deleted by default during an upgrade.
Š
OES 2: Applications installed on an OES 2 server are retained, but might not work after
upgrading.
To learn more and for instructions on manually changing these options, see “ Planning for the
Upgrade to OES 2 SP2 ” in the OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide .
7.1.2 iManager 2.5 Replaced by iManager 2.7 on NetWare
If iManager 2.5 is installed on a NetWare server, and you upgrade it to NetWare 6.5 SP8, iManager
and its associated plug-ins are automatically updated to version 2.7. For more information about
iManager 2.7, see the
Novell iManager 2.7.3 Administration Guide .
If you are using iManager 2.02, iManager is not upgraded.
7.1.3 OES 1 Linux to OES 2 Service Differences
eGuide, Novell iFolder
®
2, and Virtual Office are not supported on OES 2. If you upgrade an OES 1
Linux server with any of these installed to OES 2 SP2, the services cease to function.
