8.2 Migration Tools and Purposes

The following sections briefly explain the migration tools included in OES 2 SP2:

8.2.1 OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool

The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool lets you migrate and/or consolidate data and services from one or more NetWare, OES 1, or OES 2 source servers to an OES 2 SP2 target server. The source servers must each be running the same platform. Cross-platform consolidations are not directly supported, but can be facilitated as explained in Cross-Platform Data Consolidations in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration Guide.

You can also transfer a complete server identity, including its IP address, hostname, eDirectory identity, NICI keys, and certificates. For more information, see Transfer ID in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration Guide.

8.2.2 Migrate Windows Shares Utility

OES 2 SP2 includes the Migrate Windows Shares utility to help you migrate data from Windows NT*, 2000, or 2003 servers to OES 2 SP2.

For more information, see Migrating Data from Windows to OES 2 SP2 Linux in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
