The upgrade process involves migrating any of your existing Novell Storage Manager 2.5x for eDirectory policies as well as deferred delete pending events, then rebuilding the Novell Storage Manager catalog.
Because you are moving the NSM Engine in Novell Storage Manager 2.5x from a NetWare server to a Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 machine, you perform an across-the-wire migration.
The migration is a three-step process:
The NSM Migration utility exports policies and deferred delete content from the Novell Storage Manager 2.5x NSM Engine.
The NSMAdmin Setup Wizard imports the policies and deferred delete content to the Novell Storage Manager 3.1.1 NSM Engine.
You perform Manage Operations to rebuild the Novell Storage Manager catalog.
