The Server Consolidation Utility is launched from the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, which runs on a Windows workstation on the network. This workstation must meet the requirements outlined in this section.
Server Consolidation Utility 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 following are additional requirements for consolidation projects:
For NetWare projects, you must be logged in as a user with the Supervisor right to the source and destination servers.
Use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the necessary rights to access all source and destination servers.
For Windows projects, you must be logged in as a user with administrative rights to the domain containing the source server and workstation.
You need the Write/Modify permission to the domain and the Registry of the Primary Domain Controller (PDC). You also need the Read permission to all folders and files you are copying.
HINT:For Windows 2000/2003 consolidation projects, you can run the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit on the Windows server itself. This is the preferred method, especially if you have data that uses extended ASCII (multinational characters) or double-byte character sets (Japanese and other oriental languages). You cannot run the Toolkit on Windows NT servers.
If you have extended ASCII or double-byte character set data on a Windows source server and you plan to run the Toolkit on a separate Windows workstation, the workstation must have Windows installed with the same language as the server. For example, if you are migrating a Japanese server, make sure that your workstation is also running Japanese. You must also enable UTF-8 support in the Novell Client.
For more information, see Section 12.0, Copying Double-Byte Character Set Data.
