You have the name and password of the Administrator objects that have Supervisor object
rights to the Tree object of both trees you want to merge
The eDirectory database for the two trees has been backed up
All servers in both trees are synchronized and using the same time source
(Optional) All servers in the tree are operational (Servers that are down will update
automatically when they are operational.)
Review the merge prerequisites listed in
“Preparing the Source and Target Trees” on page 214
The merge process itself only takes a few minutes, but there are other variables that increase the
length of time for the merge operation to complete:
• Many objects subordinate to the Tree object that must be split into partitions
• Many servers in the source tree that require a tree name change
To merge two trees:
1
In Novell iManager, click the
Roles and Tasks
button
.
2
Click
eDirectory Maintenance
>
Merge Tree
.
3
Specify which server will run Merge (this will be the source tree), then click
Next
.
4
Authenticate to the server, then click
Next
.
5
Specify an Administrator username and password for the source tree.
6
Specify the target tree name and the Administrator username and password, then click
Start
.
A Merge Tree Wizard Status window appears and shows the progress of the merge.
7
When a “Completed” message appears with information returned from the merge process, click
Close
to exit.
8.1.9 Post-Merge Tasks
Following the merging of two trees, it might be necessary to complete the following steps:
1
Verify that all tree names were changed correctly.
2
Check the new partitions that the merge operation created.
If you have many small partitions in the new tree, or if you have partitions that contain related
information, you might want to merge them. For more information, see
Section 5.2, “Merging a
Partition,” on page 131
.
3
Copy a new replica to any non-NetWare 5 servers, if you did not upgrade before running
DSMerge.
4
Re-create any leaf objects or aliases in the tree that were deleted before you ran DSMerge.
5
Evaluate partitioning of the eDirectory tree.
Merging trees might change replica placement requirements on the new tree. You should
carefully evaluate and change the partitioning as needed.
6
Update your client workstation configuration.
For the Novell Client for DOS/Windows, check the Preferred Tree and Preferred Server
statements in the net.cfg files. For the Novell Client for Windows, check the Preferred Tree and
Preferred Server statements on the client Property Page, or rename the target tree.
