8.1.1 Prerequisites
Novell eDirectory 8.8 must be installed on the server containing the master replica of the
source tree's [Root] partition.
Other servers in the source tree should be upgraded to eDirectory 8.6 or later to ensure proper
functionality.
8.1.2 Target Tree Requirements
Novell eDirectory 8.8 must be installed on the server containing the master replica of the target
tree's [Root] partition. If this server is running any other version of NDS
®
or eDirectory, the
merge operation will not complete successfully.
Other servers in the target tree should be upgraded to eDirectory 8.6 or later to ensure proper
functionality.
You cannot maintain containers with the same name subordinate to Tree in both the source and
target trees. Before merging two trees, one of the containers must be renamed.
If both the source and target trees have a Security object, one of them must be removed before
merging the trees.
8.1.3 Schema Requirements
Before attempting to perform a merge operation, the schema of both trees must match exactly. You
should run DSRepair on the server containing the master replica of the [Root] partition for each tree.
Use the Import Remote Schema option to ensure that each tree is aware of all schema in the other
tree.
