Domino 5 to 6 upgrade

I have 2 domino 5 servers (main) using in a domino cluster in my main office and 3 domino 5 servers in my regional offices. They all replicate with the main office domino servers. How do I go about upgrading them to domino 6. I know that the primary server has to be upgraded first.

  1. Do I have do upgrade both servers in the clusters in my main office?

  2. Can domino 6 and domino 5 run the the same domino domain and replicate with each other?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,

check out this link:

You’ll see also a link to another redbook discribing the path of migration.

Yes, a R5 server can replicate with an domino 6 server.

How do you go about upgrading the servers that are in a cluster? Do I have upgrade all the servers in a cluster at the same time?

No you can do them individually but beware that any upgraded database designs will replicate across the cluster partners, regardless of any acl restrictions you might think you have in place.
