20.5 Verifying the Migration

After migration is complete, the CIFS server on the target server must be available and running as it used to be on your NetWare server. This verifies that the migration has been successfully completed.

If the CIFS server is not running after migration, see CIFS Migration Issues in the OES 2 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.

After a successful migration:

You can verify these steps for a successful migration by using either iManager or command line options.

20.5.1 Using iManager to Verify the Migration

  1. Open iManager on the target server.

  2. Go to File Protocols > CIFS.

  3. Browse or specify the OES 2 Linux server.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Click Start. This displays the CIFS status as Running.

  6. Click Shares. You must be able to list the sharepoints that were running on your NetWare and now migrated to OES 2 Linux server.

    For details on CIFS administration through iManager, see Using iManager to Manage CIFS.

20.5.2 Using CLI to Verify the Migration

  1. On the target server console, enter the command rcnovell-cifs status.

  2. If the status is not running, enter the command rcnovell-cifs start to start the server.

  3. If the status is running, enter the command rcnovell-cifs restart to restart the server.

  4. Enter the command novcifs [-sl | --share --list] or novcifs [-sln sharename | --share --list --name=sharename]

    This displays the list of sharepoints that were available on NetWare and are now migrated to the OES 2 Linux server.

    For details on CIFS administration through command line utilities, see Using the Command Line to Manage CIFS in the OES 2 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.
