Perform Post-Migration Tasks

  1. Run DSREPAIR on the destination server and select Unattended Full Repair.

  2. Make sure that user information migrated successfully.

  3. Reinstall any applications that have files or NLM programs associated with the following volume SYS: directories: SYSTEM, PUBLIC, MAIL, ETC, and NETBASIC.

    IMPORTANT:  Because the source server's identity will replace the destination server, all NDS objects on the destination server, including those representing applications, are removed and replaced by the NDS objects that exist on the source server. However, the NLM programs associated with the destination server's applications will still exist. Because you cannot manage applications without their corresponding NDS objects, you must reinstall the applications to restore their NDS objects to the NDS tree.

    If your destination server was running NetWare 5.1, you might see warnings on your server referring to SMS, LDAP, Novell Certificate Server, or NetWare Management Portal. Just ignore the warnings and reinstall the products after NDS has been migrated.

    To reinstall these network products and services, go to the NetWare Deployment Manager utility (NWDEPLOY.EXE) located on the NetWare Operating System CD, or go to the GUI interface and click the Novell icon on the servertop.

  4. Install the latest NetWare Support Pack.

    This will ensure that you get the latest code for the applications that you are reinstalling. The latest Support Packs are available at the Novell Support Web site.

  5. Run DSREPAIR > Time Synchronization to verify that your source server is synchronized with the rest of your servers.
