11.4 Miscellaneous Errors

This section identifies other errors that might be encountered when using the NetWare Migration Wizard.

11.4.1 Nuwagent.nlm Load Errors

Nuwagent.nlm is the NLM program that Migration Wizard uses to do much of its work. If you get errors that the nuwagent.nlm won’t load, try the following:

  • Manually load nuwagent.nlm at the server console.

  • Enter smdr new at the destination server console. This re-creates the SMDR configuration and allows nuwagent.nlm to load.

11.4.2 NICI Errors

If you are getting NICI errors when eDirectory is trying to load or when you are copying the NICI files in Migration Wizard, this might mean that your NICI files are corrupt. To correct the problem, follow these steps on the server that is getting NICI errors:

  1. Copy the *.nfk file from NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) to the server’s sys:system directory.

  2. Rename the *.nfk file that you just copied to nicifk (this has no extension).

  3. Go to the Novell Support Web site and download nrepair3.exe.

  4. Extract nrepair3.exe and locate nrepair.nlm.

  5. Run nrepair.nlm on the server, clicking Yes at all the prompts.

  6. Reboot the server.

  7. Load pki.nlm on the server and verify that you are no longer getting NICI errors.

If you still see NICI errors, refer to TID #10025666 in the Novell Knowledgebase.

11.4.3 NMAS Error When Migrating from NetWare 5.1

When migrating from NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 7 with eDirectory 8 to NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 2 using Migration Wizard 8.0, NMAS might show a - 1660 (0xFFFFF984) error after completing Step 3 (Start NDS/eDirectory Migration) and rebooting the server and client.

This is the expected behavior because this is a new server that hasn’t been fully installed, so there are no objects in the Security container, which means that NMAS (and other security products such as NICI and PKI) have not been configured.

If you have Novell Client 4.9 and later, you must disable the NMAS authentication. Right-click the N icon, select Novell Client Properties > Advanced Login, then deselect the NMAS Authentication option.

11.4.4 CCS_pbeDecrypt Error When Migrating from NetWare 5.0

When performing a migration from NetWare 5.0, you might receive a CCS_pbeDecrypt error on the source server console when attempting to back up either the source server trustees or the NDS database.

If this occurs, make sure that the latest Support Pack is installed on the NetWare 5.0 server and then do the following:

  1. At the NetWare 5.0 source server console, enter

    down

  2. At the DOS prompt, enter.

    copy c:\nwserver\expxeng.xlm c:\nwserver\novxeng.xlm

  3. Enter.

    copy c:\nwserver\domxeng.xlm c:\nwserver\novxeng.xlm

    NOTE:This might fail because domxeng.xlm is not present. This is not a problem.

    If you used a directory other than \nwserver to store the server files, substitute that directory for \nwserver in steps 2 and 3.

  4. Restart the NetWare 5.0 server.
