If you haven’t done so…1. Read the IBM red book “Upgrading to Lotus Notes and Domino 6”

  1. Read the IBM Lotus Notes 6 Manual “Upgrade Guide” which belongs to the release documentation set.

  2. Set up a test environment. Pay particular attention to home made or other non-Lotus applications (or at least their Web interface for the server upgrade) which are important to your organisation.
