If you have set any custom configuration parameter values in the server.conf file, save those values in separate files before the upgrade.
To save your custom configuration information:
Log in to the Sentinel server as the novell user and go to the /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/ directory.
Create a configuration file named server-custom.conf and add your custom configuration parameters in this file.
Sentinel applies the saved custom configuration in these configuration files during the upgrade.
Sentinel 8.1 includes an updated version of Jetty. The updated version of Jetty includes changes to its file structure.
If you have modified the /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/3rdparty/jetty/jetty-ssl.xml file in previous versions of Sentinel, such as excluding any ciphers, save those changes in a separate file before the Sentinel upgrade.
Once the Sentinel upgrade is complete, copy those changes to the /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/3rdparty/jetty/jetty-ssl-context.xml file and restart Sentinel.
