12.2 Using VNC

To perform Transfer ID by using the VNC client (TightVNC):

  1. Connect to the remote VNC client (TightVNC) running on the target server from your server or desktop by providing the IP address of the target server.

  2. On the command prompt enter, miggui to launch the application.

  3. Authenticate to both the source and target servers.

  4. Select Transfer ID as the migration type.

    You can either migrate all the services to an OES 11 server and then transfer the NetWare or OES server’s identity, or only transfer the NetWare or OES server’s identity to an OES 11 server.

  5. Perform Step 1 (eDirectory Precheck) to Step 6 (IP Change) in Section 10.6, Run Transfer ID.

    After changing the IP address, the TightVNC console will hang.

  6. Close the VNC client and then relaunch it.

  7. Connect to the VNC server by providing the new IP address from Step 5.

  8. To complete Transfer ID, perform Step 7 (Hostname Change) to Step 10 (Restart Server) in Section 10.6, Run Transfer ID.
