UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6

Preparing to upgrade a clustered Domino server
To prepare your clustered Domino 4.6 or Domino 5 servers for the upgrade to Domino 6, restrict the server that you are upgrading to prevent new users from accessing the server and to balance the workload.

Note When you upgrade a server that is in a cluster, the Cluster Database Directory is upgraded automatically. However, the title of this database is not changed from the existing title. The documentation refers to this title as "Cluster Directory (6)," but the title on your server might be "Cluster Directory (R5)" or whatever title you are using. You can change the title to match the documentation or leave it as it is.

For more information about how to restrict a server, see the topic Managing failover in a cluster.

After you have completed these tasks, you can begin backing up your files.
