How to Upgrade a 6.x Policy Store

A new directory server instance is not required for a r12.1 SP3 policy store. You can upgrade an existing policy store to r12.1 SP3.

Complete the following procedures to upgrade a supported LDAP or relational database policy store:

  1. Edit the Novell XPS Schema File.
  2. Extend the Policy Store Schema.

    Note: The existing r6.x policy store schema has not changed. The r12.1 SP3 migration requires that you upgrade the policy store schema to extend the policy store for objects required by r12.1 SP3.

  3. Import the Base Policy Store Objects.
  4. Import the Policy Store Data Definitions.

Note: If you are upgrading a directory server or database that is listed in the Support Matrix, but not in this guide, see one of the following guides:
