Correction, if I may:
Only with versions prior to 6.0.3 / 6.5.0, you would have to stop active 
domino servers to install licensed code. And then you wouldn't need 
upddomsvr.

Once you have installed a multi-version capable release, domino servers 
can remain active during installation of new licensed code. 
Just shut 'm down before running upddomsvr. That's one of the big pluses 
of multi-versioning.

Recently we upgraded our production environment of 18 domino servers (4 
iSeries 820 with 4-5 DPARS each) from 6.5.3 to 6.5.4. 
Thanks to multi versioning, the upgrade was done with just 20 minutes 
domino downtime.

Best regards,
