Novell NetWare Migration Wizard 6.5 Readme July, 2003 ************IMPORTANT************** There is an incompatibility between NW51sp2a NSS code and the more recent NW51sp3 or NetWare 6 NSS code which causes files to be migrated as zero-byte files. Upgrade to SP3 or later on all 5.1 servers before the migration if you are using NSS volumes. For additional information, see TID# 10064226 in the Novell Knowledgebase at http://support.novell.com/search/kb_index.jsp. ************************************ 1.0 Overview 2.0 Known Issues 3.0 Legal Information ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0 Overview ---------------------------------------------------------------- These notes describe some known issues that have not been resolved for this release of the NetWare Migration Wizard 6.5 software. The Novell NetWare Migration Wizard Utility helps you copy data from one server to another. For information on installing and running the Migration Wizard Utility, go to http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/migwiz65. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2.0 Known Issues ---------------------------------------------------------------- Use Latest Support Packs ---------------------------------------------------------------- It is highly recommended that you update to the latest support packs on both the source and destination servers. Database Can't Be Created Errors on NT 4.0 Workstations ---------------------------------------------------------------- If you see a "Database Project Can't Be Created" error when running the Migration Wizard Utility on a Windows NT 4.0 workstation, you must install the Microsoft Jet Database drivers. To acquire the Jet Database drivers, search the download.microsoft.com Web site for the Jet 4.0 Service Pack 3 Update. Avoid Extended Character Passwords ------------------------------------------------------------------ We recommend not using an Admin user with an extended character password to perform the migration using the Migration Wizard Utility. Re-installing the Migration Wizard Utility in Another Language ------------------------------------------------------------------ To re-install the Migration Wizard Utility in a different language than it was originally installed in, you must uninstall the utility in the first language, then re-install it using the new language. Verify IP Addresses After the Migration Completes ------------------------------------------------------------------ After completing a post-migration installation of products on your server, run the NetWare Remote Manager utility by pointing your browser to the URL of the server you want to manage by typing the following in the address (URL) field: http://server's_TCP/IP_address:8008 For example: http://137.65.123.11:8008 The default alternate port number is 8008. If you have changed this value on the Configuration page, make sure you specify the same value for the port number here. Under the Manage Server heading in the left frame of the NetWare Remote Manager browser window, click the IP Address Management link and verify that all installed products are assigned the correct IP address. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 Legal Information -------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer, Patents, Copyright, and Export Notice Novell, Inc. makes no representations or warranties with respect to the contents or use of this documentation, and specifically disclaims any express or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.
