This section explains how to upgrade server and client machines from AFS 3.5 or AFS 3.6 Beta to AFS 3.6. Before performing an upgrade, please read all of the introductory material in this section.
If you are installing AFS for the first time, skip this chapter and refer to the OpenAFS Quick Beginnings document for AFS 3.6. AFS provides backward compatibility to the previous release only: AFS 3.6 is certified to be compatible with AFS 3.5 but not necessarily with earlier versions.
You must meet the following requirements to upgrade successfully to AFS 3.6:
You can access the AFS 3.6 binaries by network, or have the CD-ROM labeled AFS Version 3.6 for each system type you need to upgrade. See Obtaining the Binary Distribution.
You have access to the OpenAFS Quick Beginnings document for OpenAFS, either in hardcopy or at http://www.transarc.com/Library/documentation/afs_doc.html. See also Accessing the AFS Binary Distribution and Documentation.
The partition that houses the /usr/afs/bin directory on each server machine has at least 18 MB of disk space for storing the AFS server binaries.
The partition that houses the /usr directory on each client machine has at least 4 MB of disk space for storing the AFS client binaries and kernel library files (stored by convention in the /usr/vice/etc directory).
You can log into all server and client machines as the local superuser root.
You are listed in the cell's /usr/afs/etc/UserList file and can authenticate as a member of the system:administrators group.
