An added benefit to going with a fresh pre-migration install of 6.5 and doing ATW migration is if you have a poorly-designed server with only a SYS volume containing everything including user data, you can use the migration modeling process to relocate the user data to a separate pool/volume and get your server configured the way a server should - with the SYS volume only containing system files and no user data.

Convert a traditional NetWare volume to an NSS vol INPLACE? <br />
Upgrading a server from NW6.0 to 6.5. A mandatory requirement is that a traditional volume needs to be upgraded to NSS prior to the upgrade. Something about MAC name space requiring NSS in NW6.5.<br />
<br />
Per this TID: 10020279<br />
<br />
There is no way to do an inplace upgrade. You have to copy the data over to a new NSS volume.<br />
<br />
Can someone please confirm that this is the ONLY way to convert the volume. There is no inplace upgrade process available?<br />

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
