Pre-upgrade Steps

----------- BACKING UP DIRECTORY SERVICES -----------

Grab a database backup for each server being upgraded. The easiest way to backup the dibs is to do the following:

1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ndsd stop
2. tar up your dib directory
3. Make a copy your nds.conf
4. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ndsd start

TID #10067467 - NICI Migration for UNIX before applying eDirectory 8.6.1

During the upgrade process, the administrator is prompted to upgrade NICI using the NICI Migration Utility. Upgrading to eDirectory 8.6.1 disables the security objects, such as Tree Certificate Authority and Key Material Objects (certificates). To avoid this, use the NICI Migration Utility prior to the upgrade.
