Perform Post-Migration Tasks

  1. Run DSREPAIR on the destination server and select Unattended Full Repair.

  2. Make sure that user information migrated successfully.

    HINT:  During the migration, the standard sys directory from the source server is saved in the sys.mig directory on the destination server.

  3. Run DSREPAIR > Time Synchronization to verify that your source server is synchronized with the rest of your servers.

  4. Verify that the correct IP address is assigned to the new server in all appropriate files.

    For example, autoexec.ncf, sys:\etc\hosts, and sys:\etc\hostname.

    IMPORTANT:  Failure to have the correct IP address in the hosts or hostname files causes the post-installation of some products to fail.

  5. Reinstall any applications.

    IMPORTANT:  Because the source server's identity replaces the destination server, all NDS objects on the destination server, including those representing applications, are removed and replaced by the NDS objects that exist on the source server. However, the NLM programs associated with the destination server's applications still exist. Because you cannot manage applications without their corresponding NDS objects, you must reinstall the applications to restore their NDS objects to the NDS tree.

    If your destination server was running NetWare 5.1, you might see warnings on your server referring to SMS, LDAP, Novell Certificate Server, or NetWare Management Portal. Just ignore the warnings and reinstall the products after NDS has been migrated.

    To reinstall these network products and services, go to the NetWare Deployment Manager utility (nwdeploy.exe) located on NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System), or go to the GUI interface and click the Novell icon on the servertop.

  6. If you haven't already done so, install the latest NetWare Support Pack.

    This ensures that you get the latest code for the applications that you are reinstalling. The latest Support Packs are available at the Novell Support Web site.
