Re: iTools upgrade strategy

...hmmm...surprised to know that Panther client actually works on Xserve.
Panther client installed and booted fine... I was under the assumption that by running the client on the Xserve, I would only lose some hardware monitor feature that I don't use anyway. iTools doesn't need it. Right? Is there something I need the server version for?

At any rate, you should be aware that it is important to upgrade iTools 6.5 to iTools 7.x *before* moving to Panther, since iTools 6.x doesn't run on Panther. Further, iTools 7 is designed to upgrade from iTools 6.5 automatically.

So step one would be to upgrade the existing 10.2 iTools 6.5 system to iTools 7.3.
Can this be done without pulling the server offline for more than a restart?

Hi again, OSX 'client' isn't rare running on the Xserve. From the various research I've done & what other people who use our server for OSX development have told us, the core of the client version is identical to the server version. The real difference is the GUI tools Apple puts in as well as the limits on file serving. I'm pretty sure a restart should be all that's necessary. --
