You can also rename the tree after the merge so that the final tree name corresponds to the tree name
with the majority of client workstations.
Another option is to rename the merged tree to the name of the original source tree. If you choose
this option, then you must update the
net.cfg
files on the target tree client workstations.
Use the following list of prerequisites to determine readiness for the renaming operation:
‰
Access to a server console on the source tree or an established RCONSOLE session with the
server
‰ The Supervisor object right to the Tree object of the source tree
‰
(Optional) All servers in the tree are operational (Servers that are down will update
automatically when they are operational.)
To rename the tree:
1 In Novell iManager, click the Roles and Tasks button Description: Roles and Tasks button .
2 Click eDirectory Maintenance > Rename Tree .
3 Specify which server will run the Rename Tree Wizard (this should be a server in the target
tree), then click
Next .
4 Authenticate to the server, then click Next .
5
Specify a new tree name and an Administrator username and password.
6 Click Start .
A Rename Tree Wizard Status window appears, showing the progress of the Rename process.
7 When a “Completed” message appears with information returned from the Rename process,
click
Close to exit.
9.4 Using the eMBox Client to Merge Trees
The eDirectory Management Toolbox (eMBox) Client is a command line Java client that gives you
remote access to DSMerge. The
emboxclient.jar
file is installed on your server as part of
eDirectory. You can run it on any machine with a JVM. For more information on the eMBox Client,
see
Section 20.1, “Using the eMBox Command Line Client,” on page 588 .
9.4.1 Using the DSMerge eMTool
1 Run the eMBox Client in interactive mode by entering the following at the command line:
java -cp path_to_the_file/ emboxclient.jar embox -i
(If you have already put the
emboxclient.jar
file in your class path, you need to enter
only
java embox -i
.)
The eMBox Client prompt appears:
