The Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, which includes NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1, runs on a Windows workstation. This section provides information about the system and software requirements for the Windows workstation, the source server, and the destination server.
NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1 is installed as part of the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit. If you have not already met the workstation requirements and installed the toolkit, see "Installing the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit" in the Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit Administration Guide.
The source server is the NetWare server that contains the files, volumes, and NDS®/eDirectoryTM objects to be copied to the NetWare destination server.
Updates are available at the Consolidated Support Pack home page.
Use ConsoleOne® to verify that you have the necessary rights.
IMPORTANT: When migrating a NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory version 8.6.2 to a new NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory 8.6.2, you might encounter an NDS error stating you couldn't copy an NDS object because you do not have the proper rights. This can occur even if you are logged in as Admin.
Installing eDirectory version 8.7 or later on the source server and running the migration again resolves this issue.
The destination server is the new computer that is to receive the data from the source server. This server must be installed into a temporary tree and it must be the only server in that tree.
Migration Wizard 8.1 does not migrate to NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 destination servers.
After you install the destination server, use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the necessary rights.
See the Network Time Management for NetWare Administration Guide for OES for more information about time synchronization.
