Miracle happened, and now the whole student half of the cluster is being served out of NW6.5. The last two updates were really nifty since I could get a node upgraded in about an hour. The upgrade went something like this.
  1. Perform standard Upgrade
    1. Remove CPQMPK and CPQSHD.CDM while doing so
  2. Apply NWLIB6A patch
  3. Apply APR211 patch
  4. Apply AP2052 patch
  5. Apply N65NSS2B patch
  6. Apply iprint11b patch bits (sort of...)
  7. Apply ncpfsp patch
  8. Apply nslockpatch
  9. Apply sshpt2 patch
  10. Apply tcp657 patch
  11. Copy apache config-file for NetStorage from the working node
  12. Copy mod_edir from the working node to the new node, overwriting the old one
  13. Copy sshd_config from working node
  14. Copy the trio of NCF files from the working node that kick off MyWeb and MyFiles
  15. Copy the ftp NCF file from the working node so get SSH bits in
  16. Rearrange AUTOEXEC.NCF so the apache startups come nearer to the end
  17. Reset server
Tada! Looks like a lot of steps, but the bits in the middle actually go really fast. All those patches are needed since we're pretty close to SP3 these days, and well, we need 'em.
