Launch iManager.

Identify the source NCP server and the corresponding DNS server object that should be migrated to target server.

The server and the server object will no longer exist on the NetWare server after migration. Make sure that the DNS Service is not running on this source NCP server.

To stop the service, see Stopping the DNS Server in the OES 2 SP3: Novell DNS/DHCP Administration Guide.

Use iManager to move the source DNS server. This task also migrates the primary zones in the tree.

For information about moving the DNS server, see Moving a DNS Server in the OES 2 SP3: Novell DNS/DHCP Administration Guide.

In iManager, use iManager to create the DNS server object. For details, see OES 2 SP3: Novell DNS/DHCP Administration Guide.

On the OES 2 Linux server, create a secondary zone and specify the zone master IP address as the IP address of the NetWare server where the primary zone exists. After the initial zone transfer, change the zone on the source NetWare server to secondary and make the zone on the target server to be the primary server.

Migrate primary zones on the OES 2 Linux server by creating a secondary zone and specifying the zone master IP address as the IP address of the NetWare/OES server where the primary zone exists.

Load the DNS servers on primary and secondary server to initiate zone transfer.

After the initial zone transfer, change the zone on the source NetWare server to secondary and make the zone on the target server to be the primary server zone.

To migrate secondary zones, create a secondary zone on the Linux server and specify it to be the secondary zone to the target primary zone that is on the OES 2 Linux server. Ensure that both the primary and the secondary zones use the same name. This is essential for a successful zone transfer.
