When starting with NetWare as the source operating system platform, you can either consolidate (copy) data between servers or migrate file system and eDirectory data to a new NetWare server (also known as a hardware upgrade or server identity swap).
Consolidate and Copy Data and Printing between Servers
Select this option if you want to do any of the following:
Copy data from one or more NetWare source servers to one or more NetWare destination servers
Consolidate one or more NDPS Printer Agents to a single NDPS Print Manager within the same tree
In all server consolidation scenarios, the source and destination servers continue to exist on the network and retain their original identities.
If you select this option, the Server Consolidation Utility automatically launches. See Section III, Server Consolidations for further instructions.
Migrate Data to New Server (Hardware Upgrade)
Select this option if you want to migrate file system data and the NDS/eDirectory database from an old NetWare server to a new NetWare server. When the migration is complete, the old server is brought down and the new server assumes its name and IP address on the network. You can then surplus the old server hardware.
If you select this option, the NetWare Migration Wizard automatically launches. See Section IV, Server Migrations for further instructions.
