10.1.3 Destination Server Requirements
The destination server is the new computer that is to receive the data from the source server. This
server must be installed into a temporary tree and it must be the only server in that tree.
The destination 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.
Migration Wizard 8.2 does not migrate to NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 destination servers.
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.
Select the Pre-Migration Server pattern when you install the destination server, as instructed in
Section 10.3, “Installing the Destination Server,” on page 94
.
You must have the Supervisor right to the destination server’s file system and the destination
server itself. After you install the destination server, use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the
necessary rights.
The source and destination servers must be using the same time synchronization method:
Timesync (
timesync.nlm
) or NTPv3 (
xntpd.nlm
).
See the
OES 2 : Novell TimeSync for NetWare Administration Guide
and the
OES 2: Novell
NTP for NetWare Administration Guide
for more information about time synchronization.
10.2 Preparing the Source Server for Migration
Before you launch NetWare Migration Wizard from the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit,
follow these steps to prepare the source server:
1
Shut down any applications, products, or services (virus scan software, backup software, etc.)
running on the server to be migrated.
2
Verify the health of eDirectory by loading DSRepair and running the following three options:
Unattended Full Repair
Time Synchronization
Report Synchronization Status
If any errors are reported, resolve them before attempting the migration.
3
Back up eDirectory and all data on the server.
4
Remove any unnecessary applications, then delete and purge unused files and folders.
10.3 Installing the Destination Server
The next step is to install the destination server with the NetWare operating system that you are
migrating to.
1
Obtain the NetWare installation software for the version of NetWare you require.
2
Prepare the new server hardware as recommended in the NetWare installation documentation.
