11.2 File Copy Problems

This section describes what to do if problems are encountered when copying files and restoring trustees.

11.2.1 Issues During the File Copy

If you are having problems during the file copy, try one or more of the following:

  • Enable login on both the destination and source servers. If you have disabled login before you started the file copy, the servers can’t log in to each other in order to migrate the files.

    NOTE:If you have selected to do so, Migration Wizard disables user logins for you during the migration.

  • If files are copying very slowly, make sure that the servers and workstation are configured at the highest common LAN speed. Verify that the NICs and anything in between are all hard coded to either communicate half-duplex or full-duplex; they need to be the same throughout. If there are problems with full-duplex, use half-duplex.

    NOTE:If compressed files are migrated to uncompressed volumes, file copy might be slower.

  • If Migration Wizard encounters filenames with a total path length of more than 256 bytes, the file copy stops. You might need to reorganize the data on your source server if your path lengths are longer than 256 bytes.

11.2.2 Data Set Currently In Use Errors in the Error Log

If you see NWSMTS error: Data set is currently in use and cannot be accessed errors in the error log file after the migration, it means the specified files were open during the file copy and were not migrated. You can expect to see these errors for files such as sys:_swap_.mem and others that are always open. These errors are mainly informational.

11.2.3 Problems Restoring Trustees

  • If you see the error An unknown error has occurred. (Source Server: SRV1 Path: ‘SYS:SYSTEM\NUW30\TRUSTEE.REF’ Error: ‘1’ Function: ‘fopen (OpenTrusteeReference)’ when migrating from NetWare 5.1 to NetWare 6.5 SP6, make sure you have disabled file caching in the Novell Client. For more information, see Section 3.1, Meeting the Workstation Requirements.

  • If the trustees fail to restore and you get a 0xfffffffb error, this means that you did not modify your server’s IP address in all the necessary places. For more information, see Section 10.6, Migration Step 2: Edit Configuration Files.

  • If you need to restore trustees, you can click the Finish NDS/eDir Migration button in the Migration Wizard, or select Restore Trustees on the toolbar.
