The Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, which includes NetWare Migration Wizard 8.2, runs on a Windows workstation. This section provides information about the system and software requirements for the Windows workstation, the source server, and the destination server.
NetWare Migration Wizard 8.2 is installed as part of the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit. If you have not already met the workstation requirements and installed the toolkit, see Section 3.1, Meeting the Workstation Requirements.
The source server is the NetWare server that contains the files, volumes, and NDS/eDirectory objects to be copied to the NetWare destination server.
The source server must be running a supported version of NetWare. See Section 1.3, Supported Source and Destination Server Versions for more information.
If you want to migrate NetWare servers running eDirectory 8.8 SP2, you must update both source and destination servers to NetWare 6.5 SP7 or later. Otherwise, the destination server fails to reboot after the third step of the migration.
If necessary, update the source server with the latest NetWare Support Pack.
Updates are available at the Consolidated Support Pack home page.
You must have the Supervisor right to the source server’s file system and the source server itself. Use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the necessary rights.
IMPORTANT:When migrating a NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory version 8.6.2 to a new NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory 8.6.2, you might encounter an NDS error stating you couldn’t copy an NDS object because you do not have the proper rights. This can occur even if you are logged in as Admin.
Installing eDirectory version 8.7 or later on the source server and running the migration again resolves this issue.
The destination server is the new computer that is to receive the data from the source server. This server must be installed into a temporary tree and it must be the only server in that tree.
The destination server must be running a supported version of NetWare. See Section 1.3, Supported Source and Destination Server Versions for more information.
Migration Wizard 8.2 does not migrate to NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 destination servers.
If you want to migrate NetWare servers running eDirectory 8.8 SP2, you must update both source and destination servers to NetWare 6.5 SP7 or later. Otherwise, the destination server fails to reboot after the third step of the migration.
Select the Pre-Migration Server pattern when you install the destination server, as instructed in Section 9.3, Installing the Destination Server.
You must have the Supervisor right to the destination server’s file system and the destination server itself. After you install the destination server, use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the necessary rights.
The source and destination servers must be using the same time synchronization method: Timesync (timesync.nlm) or NTPv3 (xntpd.nlm).
See the NW 6.5 SP8: Network Time Synchronization Administration Guide and the NW 6.5 SP8: NTP Administration Guide for more information about time synchronization.
