2.3 Upgrading Drivers to the New Architecture

For the new architecture to work properly, all of the drivers in a driver set must use the new architecture. You cannot have mixed versions of drivers in a driver set and have the new architecture function.

You use Designer or iManager to upgrade drivers, after Designer 2.0 and Identity Manager 3.5 plug-ins for iManager are installed. These procedures upgrade the driver to use the new architecture, but it does not upgrade the driver configuration file. To upgrade the driver configuration file, see Section 2.4, Methods for Upgrading the Driver Configuration File.
