The Project Window and the Getting Started Migrating from NetWare 5 or 6 window appear after you have created the migration project file.
If you do not want the Getting Started window to appear the next time you run the Migration Wizard, deselect . Click to close the Getting Started window and begin modeling your project.
The Project Window is where you can model different migration scenarios before you begin the actual migration. To do this, you drag volumes and folders from the left pane (which displays the source serverr’s volumes) and drop them into volumes and folders in the right pane (which shows the destination server’s volumes).
Dragging-and-dropping data in the Project Window does not immediately perform the action. It only creates a preview of where the data will ultimately reside on the destination server. The data is copied only after the project verification is complete and the migration process begins.
To begin modeling your migration project, decide what file system data on the source server will be copied to which volumes and folders on the destination server. You can drag-and-drop entire volumes or just selected folders from the source server to the destination server.
You can also move created and dropped folders around in the destination pane by dragging them to the desired location.
In addition to dragging-and-dropping volumes and folders, you can perform several other tasks in the Project Window:
To view a short description of the icons in the Project Window, right-click an object and then click
To set a new eDirectory tree context in either the left or right pane, right-click a container and then select .
To create a new folder on the destination server, right-click an existing parent folder or volume and then select .
To rename a newly created folder, right-click the folder and then select .
To show where a folder went, right-click the folder in the left pane and then select
The folder that was moved is highlighted in its new location in the right pane.
To show where a folder came from, right-click the folder in the right pane and then select
To cancel a dropped action, right-click a folder in the right pane and then select .
To show all folders selected for copying, right-click a container in the left pane and then select .
To view the available disk space prior to performing the verification, right-click the destination volume in the right pane and then select .
Right-clicking on a source volume or folder in the left pane and then selecting displays the size of the source object.
If you drag a folder from the source server into a folder with the same name on the destination server, a Duplicate Directory Encountered window appears. Here you can indicate how you want to handle occurrences of duplicate directories:
Don’t Copy the Directory: Ensures that directories already existing on the destination server are not overwritten. The Migration Wizard copies only the source directories that do not exist on the destination server.
Merge Directory Contents: Merges the contents of the directory on the source server with the contents of the duplicate directory on the destination server.
Merge All: Merges the contents of all duplicate directories.
Rename: Renames a directory on the source server. you must enter a new directory name in the field provided. The directory on the destination server retains its original name.
Because the destination server takes the place of the source server when the migration is complete, you should model your project to minimize the necessity of changing user login script mappings and application load files.
To preserve login script mappings to user directories, drag-and-drop these directories to the same location on the destination server as on the source server.
Likewise, to preserve application load files, drag-and-drop application directories to the same location on the destination server as on the source server.
When you have finished modeling your migration project, continue with the next section, Verify Your Migration Project.
