Draft NW6.0 Wiki

Starting point for NW6.0 wiki -- for those who need to maintain older configurations.

NW6.0 is no longer supported. This page reflects community wisdom only.

It is highly recommended to perform a rebuild of all NSS pools after applying this patch. Be sure to have a tested backup just in case.

Be sure to apply the appropriate encryption level for your server. The NICI set is only necessary for BorderManager servers.

Drivers

Vendors are no longer updating drivers for NW6.0, but in most cases the drivers from NW6.5 will work just fine. Get newer ones either from your vendor or out of the current 6.5 service pack. Be sure to update firmware in your system, too -- some drivers are very dependent on matching firmware versions (especially HBAs and RAID controllers).
