The CIFS migration scenarios are explained in this section:
Only CIFS shares and contexts of the source servers are consolidated. The remaining server configuration information is not consolidated. The target server configuration is overwritten with the source server configuration. For details on consolidation migration, see Section 1.3, Migration Scenarios.
CIFS consolidation for Different Tree is not supported. However, it can be achieved by using the following procedure:
Migrate the file system by using the Different Tree scenario. For details, see Section 16.5.2, Migrating Data to a Server in a Different Tree.
Re-configure CIFS on the target server. For details on configuring CIFS, see Setting the CIFS Server and Authentication Properties
in the OES 2 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.
In this scenario, the target is installed into the same tree with a temporary name and IP address. At the end of the procedure, the source server name and IP address are swapped for the target server name and IP address. For details on Transfer ID migration, see Section IV, Transfer ID Migration.
The following table gives you a quick overview of what is migrated from NetWare CIFS to OES 2 Linux CIFS for the different scenarios:
