IMPORTANT:
If three nodes of Access Manager Appliance nodes are installed and configured in the 4.5.x setup, you must uninstall one secondary Access Manager Appliance node before installing 5.0 Service Pack 1 Access Manager Appliance as a secondary node. For more information, see Restoring a Failed Secondary Console. Note that you will be expected to enter Access Manager administrator password at least 5-6 times during the migration process.
Before upgrading, see Section 4.0, Prerequisites for Upgrading or Migrating Access Manager Appliance.
In addition to the procedure mentioned in Restoring Secondary Console, perform the following steps as prerequisites before migrating Access Manager Appliance.
Remove any traces of Secondary Access Manager Appliance replicas from the replica ring if you are migrating a primary appliance if you already have three nodes or more and had to remove one of the secondary nodes and before migrating secondary nodes that hold an eDirectory replica which has an Administration Console:
Log in to Administration Console as a root user.
Run the /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndsrepair -P -Ad -a command. This step might take about 5-7 minutes.
Select the replica and click View replica ring. Select the name of the secondary server and click Remove this server from replica ring.
Specify the DN of the admin user in leading dot notation. For example, .admin.novell.
Specify the password and select I Agree.
