I believe you cannot upgrade direct from NW6 to OES and the upgrade path from NW6 to OES is NW6 to NW65 to OES but if OES is also NW65SP?? which version of NW65 should I upgrade to from NW6 before I go to OES
When you say OES, do you mean OES/Linux or OES/NetWare? If it is OES/NetWare, then you should be aware that OES/NetWare is just the latest NetWare 6.5, and you can do a normal in place upgrade using for example the NW65SP6 overlay CDs. If however you are going to OES/Linux, an in place upgrade is never possible and you have to migrate to new hardware. In that case, you better ask in the novell.support.open-enterprise-server.migration forum.
I am referring to OES/Netware. Is OES/Netware and NW6.5 the same thing ?. If it is, to which version of NW6.5 shoud I migrate my NW6 servers to and is in in-place upgrade possible.
Yes. More precisely, the first version of OES/NetWare was NetWare 6.5 SP3 and OES2/NetWare is NetWare 6.5 SP7. For your upgrade, I would recommend using Nw65SP6 overlay CDs. Make sure your 6.0 server is at the required support pack level for the upgrade. See the documentation here for upgrade requirements:
