____________________
Upgrade:
- Upgrade OS from i5.4 (V5R4) to i6.1 (V6R1)..
If you do this first, then you don't have do a program conversion when you install the Domino 8.5 multiversion. (Technote: 7013152 and See also technotes: 21294587 and 21295455)
Instead you will do a conversion on the existing 7.0x on the server. A conversion will also take place upon Domino first start-up afterwards, but services might appear hung as they wait during the conversion.
- Back-up Domino server data directory(s) and libraries. (See http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/lotus/c2359770.nsf)
- Download the software. Installation is supported via disk and software via LODRUN locally on server or via the setup.exe on a remote PC.
- Verify there are no interactive jobs using the WRKDOMSVR panel group.
WRKOBJLCK OBJ(QSYS/QGNNINDS) OBJTYPE(*PNLGRP)
- Verify the system value QVFYOBJRST is 3 or higher or install may fail with error:
"Object has a signature that is no longer valid."
To change the value enter something like:
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QVFYOBJRST) VALUE('1')
- Note that the C API is NOT multiversion compatible. You can install the new version, but then all current running servers of previous release must be stopped and their API will be upgraded.
- I prefer to install via the GUI using the Install wizard. You can also install using the RSTLICPGM commands.
- - To install run the setup.exe (if on DVD or the install exe if downloaded from Lotus Passport).
- - Follow the prompts.
- Verify the install afterwards:
DSPSFWRSC
(Something similar will display:)
5733L85 *BASE 5050 Lotus Domino 8.5
5733L85 *BASE 2924 Lotus Domino 8.5
5733L85 1 5050 Lotus Domino 8.5: C API
5733L85 11 5050 Lotus Domino 8.5: Release 8.5.1
5733L85 11 2924 Lotus Domino 8.5: Release 8.5.1
Using the printout, check for any errors:
CHKPRDOPT 5733L85
(Something similar will display:)
No errors detected by CHKPRDOPT.
- Start the server using the STRDOMSVR command, WRKDOMSVR option 1 or via the System i Navigator.
Note: The 8.5 release will cause view indexes to be updated in names.nsf and other system databases. If you have a large directory, this view index will delay the Domino services to start for several minutes to even an hour depending on the speed of the hardware (1-4 processors) and the number of users (e.g. 10,000 vs 150,000 users).

Post Upgrade:
- Remove older version of Domino software once last server has been upgraded:
Use the DSPSFWRSC command to display installed versions and options.
Use the DLTLICPGM command to remove old Domino versions:
To remove Domino 8.0x
DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733LD8) OPTION(10)
To remove Domino 7.0x
DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733LD7)
To remove Domino 6.5x
DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733L65)
To remove Domino 6.0x
DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733LD6)
To remove Domino 5:
DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5769LNT)
See also technotes: 21294587 and 21295455
- Improve performance of existing Domino server(s) by removing DECS if it is not required:
Check existing servers for DECS; configure new servers with CNNSRV(*NONE) if DECS is not required.
The default value for Connection Services on the CFGDOMSVR command is CNNSRV(*DECS). To unload DECS, use the CHGDOMSVR command:
CHGDOMSVR
SERVER(<server-name>)
CNNSRV(*NONE)
