9.3 Installing the Destination Server

The next step is to install the destination server with the NetWare operating system that you are migrating to.

  1. Obtain the NetWare installation software for the version of NetWare you require.

  2. Prepare the new server hardware as recommended in the NetWare installation documentation.

  3. Run the NetWare Install program.

  4. During the installation, make sure that you do the following:

    • As you create volumes, verify that you have enough room on your destination server to accommodate your source server data.

      If you are migrating compressed volumes to uncompressed volumes, Migration Wizard decompresses the volumes during the migration. Make sure you have enough room on the uncompressed volume to accommodate the source volumes after they are decompressed.

    • Select the Pre-Migration Server pattern.

    • Assign a different IP address to the destination server than is assigned to the source server.

      After the migration completes and the source server is taken offline, you can change the destination server’s IP address to match what had been assigned to the source server.

    • Assign the destination server a temporary name and install it into a new temporary eDirectory tree.

      You can name the server and tree anything you want (provided the names do not conflict with any existing server or tree on the network), because they are only temporary and cease to exist after the migration is complete.

      IMPORTANT:The temporary server name and temporary tree name must not be the same as the source server's name or tree name; otherwise, the destination server cannot assume the identity of the source server after the migration.

  5. (Conditional) If the destination server is running NetWare 6.5, you must disable the Universal Password feature until the migration completes.

    Universal Password is disabled by default on NetWare 6.5.
