9.3 Preparing the Target Server for Migration
-
Make sure that the option is selected for the target server.
When you install OES 2 on the target server for a Transfer ID migration and you reach the Software Selection window, you must select the option. This prepares eDirectory for the Transfer ID migration that you will perform later.
Figure 9-1 Novell Pre-migration Server
IMPORTANT:Select the option at the start of OES 2 SP3 installation; otherwise, an eDirectory replica is installed on the server and it cannot be the target server for Transfer ID migration. If the target server already has OES 2 installed, without the option selected, then selecting this option later does not prepare the target server for Transfer ID migration until you reinstall OES 2 SP3 and select this option.
-
Install the services that you need to migrate from the source server.
If a service is not installed on the target server, it is not listed in the Migration Tool GUI screen for migration. This is a mandatory requirement.
-
Back up the eDirectory information on the target server. For information on creating a backup of eDirectory, see Backing Up and Restoring Novell eDirectory in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide.
