Preparing for a Server Migration
To prepare your network for a server migration with the Novell
®
NetWare
®
Migration Wizard,
complete the tasks in the following sections:
Section 10.1, “Meeting System and Software Requirements,” on page 93
Section 10.2, “Preparing the Source Server for Migration,” on page 94
Section 10.3, “Installing the Destination Server,” on page 94
10.1 Meeting System and Software
Requirements
The Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, which includes NetWare Migration Wizard 8.2,
runs on a Windows workstation. This section provides information about the system and software
requirements for the Windows workstation, the source server, and the destination server.
10.1.1 Workstation Requirements
NetWare Migration Wizard 8.2 is installed as part of the Server Consolidation and Migration
Toolkit. If you have not already met the workstation requirements and installed the toolkit, see
Section 3.1, “Meeting the Workstation Requirements,” on page 27
.
10.1.2 Source Server Requirements
The source server is the NetWare server that contains the files, volumes, and NDS
®
/eDirectory
TM
objects to be copied to the NetWare destination server.
The source server must be running a supported version of NetWare. See
Section 1.3,
“Supported Source and Destination Server Versions,” on page 18
for more information.
If you want to migrate NetWare servers running eDirectory 8.8 SP2, you must update both
source and destination servers to NetWare 6.5 SP7 or later. Otherwise, the destination server
fails to reboot after the third step of the migration.
If necessary, update the source server with the latest NetWare Support Pack.
Updates are available at the
Consolidated Support Pack home page (http://support.novell.com/
tools/csp)
.
You must have the Supervisor right to the source server’s file system and the source server
itself. Use ConsoleOne
®
to verify that you have the necessary rights.
IMPORTANT:
When migrating a NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory version 8.6.2 to a new
NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory 8.6.2, you might encounter an NDS error stating you
couldn’t copy an NDS object because you do not have the proper rights. This can occur even if
you are logged in as Admin.
Installing eDirectory version 8.7 or later on the source server and running the migration again
resolves this issue.
