8.5 Modifying Configuration Information in ConsoleOne

  1. Start ConsoleOne on Windows.

  2. Connect to the source domain.

  3. Perform the following modifications:

8.5.1 Reconfiguring the Migrated Internet Agent

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the Internet Agent object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux, then click Apply.

  4. Click GroupWise > Log Settings.

  5. Make sure that the Log File Path field is empty so that the Linux Internet Agent creates its log files in the default location (/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.gwia) on the Linux server.

  6. Click OK to save the configuration information for the Linux Internet Agent.

  7. Continue with Reconfiguring the Migrated WebAccess Agent

    or

    Skip to Section 8.5.3, Reconfiguring SSL Certificates.

8.5.2 Reconfiguring the Migrated WebAccess Agent

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the WebAccess Agent object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux, then click Apply.

  4. Click GroupWise > Log Settings.

  5. Make sure that the Log File Path field is empty so that the Linux WebAccess Agent creates its log files in the default location (/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.webac70a) on the Linux server.

  6. Click OK to save the configuration information for the Linux WebAccess Agent.

    The Server Migration Utility migrates the WebAccess Agent but not the WebAccess Application that is installed with your Web server. If you want to use a Linux Web server with WebAccess, you can follow the instructions in Section 15.2, Manually Migrating the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications to Linux after you have finished migrating the domain.

  7. If you are using SSL, continue with Reconfiguring SSL Certificates.

    or

    Skip to Section 8.5.4, Reconfiguring the Migrated MTA.

8.5.3 Reconfiguring SSL Certificates

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > SSL Settings.

  3. In the Certificate file field, change the path to the location of the certificate file on the destination Linux server. For example:

    /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/certificate_file_name.crt

  4. In the SSL key file field, change the path to the location of the SSL key file on the destination Linux server. For example:

    /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/key_file_name.key

  5. Click OK to save the changes.

  6. Continue with Reconfiguring the Migrated MTA.

8.5.4 Reconfiguring the Migrated MTA

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux, then click Apply.

  4. Click GroupWise > Log Settings.

  5. Make sure that the Log File Path field is empty so that the Linux MTA creates its log files in the default location (/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.mta) on the Linux server.

  6. Click OK to save the configuration information for the Linux MTA.

  7. Continue with Section 8.5.5, Reconfiguring the Migrated Domain.

8.5.5 Reconfiguring the Migrated Domain

  1. Browse to and right-click the Domain object, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the UNC Path field, change the path to the location on the destination Linux server where you copied the domain. For example:

    \\linuxsvr3\gwsystem\provo1

    For a Linux server, ConsoleOne interprets the UNC path as a Linux path. Do not put a Linux path with front slashes in the UNC Path field, because backslashes are expected.

  4. Click OK to save the new Linux path information for the domain.

  5. Continue with Updating the IP Addresses of the Agents.

8.5.6 Updating the IP Addresses of the Agents

Updating the agent IP address information must be the last configuration change you make in ConsoleOne. After you change the IP address, the agents can no longer communicate with other GroupWise agents because they are no longer using the IP address the other GroupWise agents are configured to expect.

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Network Address.

  3. In the TCP/IP Address field, specify the IP address of the destination Linux server.

  4. Click OK to save the new IP address for the agent.

  5. If you are migrating the Internet Agent, repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the Internet Agent object.

  6. If you are migrating the WebAccess Agent, repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the WebAccess Agent object.

  7. Continue with Verifying the Domain Configuration Changes.

8.5.7 Verifying the Domain Configuration Changes

When the configuration changes have been replicated, the link from the Message Transfer Agent to other Message Transfer Agents in your system reflects the Linux location.

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object for the domain you have migrated, then click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Link Configuration.

  2. In the Inbound Links box, double-click a domain that links to the migrated domain.

    The IP Address field should display the new Linux IP address for the migrated domain.

  3. Click Cancel, then click File > Exit to exit the Link Configuration utility.

  4. Continue with Stopping the Source Domain Agents.

You can also use the MTA console to verify that the configuration has been replicated to domains and post offices.

  1. Display the MTA Web console.

    http://source_server_address:port_number

    For more information about the MTA Web console, see the following section in the GroupWise Administration Guide for your version of GroupWise:

  2. Click Links to check the status of the links between the source MTA and other domains and post offices on NetWare or Windows.

    The links should display Closed because the migrated MTA is now configured to communicate on a new IP address.

  3. Continue with Stopping the Source Domain Agents.
