Make sure your setup addresses the following requirements before you migrate DSfW.
Before you proceed with the migration, review the details in Prerequisites. For a successful migration:
The source server and the target server must be in the same eDirectory tree.
Ensure that the time is synchronized between the source and the target server.
The source and target servers must be in the same subnet and gateway.
The target server must be a non-replica server in the eDirectory tree. To make the target server a non-replica server, select the Novell Pre-migration Server option while installing OES 2015 SP1 on the target server.
The target server DNS entry must point to DSfW source server IP address.
Hostname of the target server should not be same as any other server in the DSfW tree.
DSfW configuration data present in eDirectory.
Configuration files for DSfW services like kerberos, samba, xad, and rsync.
Non DSfW services like iPrint and NSS. Non DSfW services need to be migrated as per the migration procedure for a particular service.
