Novell NetWare Migration Wizard 7.1 Readme
July, 2004


Use the Novell NetWare Migration Wizard 7.1 to migrate the file
system and Novell eDirectory (formerly NDS) database from an
existing NetWare 5, NetWare 6, or NetWare 6.5 server to a
faster, more reliable NetWare 6 or NetWare 6.5 destination
server. To migrate from a NetWare 3 or NetWare 4 source server,
or to migrate to a NetWare 5 destination server, use the NetWare
Migration Wizard 6.5 which is available separately at Novell's
download Web site (http://www.novell.com/download).

IMPORTANT: If you have compressed files and you are planning to
migrate these files to an NSS compressed volume on a NetWare 6.5
server, you must first apply NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 1.1 or later.
For more information, see TID #2967905 in the Novell Knowledgebase
(http://support.novell.com/search/kb_index.jsp). You can find
NetWare 6.5 Support Packs on the Novell Product Updates page
(http://support.novell.com/filefinder/18197).

1.0  Overview

     These notes describe some known issues that have not been
     resolved for this release of the NetWare Migration Wizard
     7.1 software. The NetWare Migration Wizard helps you copy
     file system and NDS/eDirectory data from one server to
     another. For information on installing and running the
     Migration Wizard, see the "NetWare Migration Wizard 7.1
     Administration Guide"
     (http://www.novell.com/documentation/migwiz71).


2.0  Known Issues

     2.1  Use Latest Support Packs

          It is highly recommended that you update to the latest
          support packs on both the source and destination
          servers. 


     2.2  Database Can't Be Created Errors on NT 4.0 Workstations

          If you see a "Database Project Can't Be Created" error
          when running the Migration Wizard Utility on a Windows
          NT 4.0 workstation, you must install the Microsoft Jet
          Database drivers. To acquire the Jet Database drivers,
          search the download.microsoft.com Web site for the Jet
          4.0 Service Pack 3 Update.


     2.3  Avoid Extended Character Passwords

          We recommend not using an Admin user with an extended
          character password to perform the migration using the
          Migration Wizard.


     2.4  Re-installing the Migration Wizard Utility in Another
          Language

          To re-install the Migration Wizard in a different
          language than it was originally installed in, you must
          uninstall the utility in the first language, then
          re-install it using the new language.


     2.5  Verify IP Addresses After the Migration Completes

          After completing a post-migration installation of
          products on your server, run the NetWare Remote Manager
          utility by pointing your browser to the URL of the
          server you want to manage by typing the following in
          the address (URL) field:

          http://server's_TCP/IP_address:8008

          For example:

          http://137.65.123.11:8008

          The default alternate port number is 8008. If you have
          changed this value on the Configuration page, make sure
          you specify the same value for the port number here. 

          Under the Manage Server heading in the left frame of
          the NetWare Remote Manager browser window, click the IP
          Address Management link and verify that all installed
          products are assigned the correct IP address.
