Make sure that you do the following while installing the new iManager 2.7:
1. The
nps
folder, which has the entire directory structure, of the existing iManager 2.7, is backed
up as
nps_2.7
under the
/var/opt/novell/tomcat5
folder.
2. While installing the new iManager 2.7, if you do not specify any path for installing the plug-
ins, the path defaults to
/var/opt/novell/tomcat5/nps_2.7/packages
which has the
backed up plug-ins.
