The Novell® NetWare® Migration Wizard 8.1 is one of two utilities included in the Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit. NetWare Migration Wizard lets you copy file system data and the NDS®/eDirectoryTM database from an existing NetWare server to a new NetWare server on your network. When the migration is complete, the new server replaces and assumes the identity of the old server on the network.
NetWare Migration Wizard version 8.1 supports migrations from NetWare 4, NetWare 5, or NetWare 6 source servers. Destination servers must be running NetWare 6. It also supports Open Enterprise Server (OES) for NetWare as a source and destination server.
IMPORTANT: If you want to migrate data from servers in Microsoft* Windows* domains, or consolidate data from one or more NetWare servers to existing OES NetWare servers, OES Linux servers, or Novell NterpriseTM Branch OfficeTM Appliances, use the Novell Server Consolidation Utility 4.1 that is included as part of the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit.
This chapter describes what NetWare Migration Wizard is and how you can use it to migrate data from an existing NetWare server to a new NetWare 6 or OES NetWare server.
