The Edit Configuration Files step compares the configuration files between the source and destination servers and lets you make any desired changes to those files.
In the Project View dialog box, click
.Migration Wizard lets you modify any .ncf or .cfg files on the destination server. These files contain default LOAD statements and parameters.
IMPORTANT:Make sure that all files are closed before you migrate your eDirectory database.
In the text box, select the configuration file that you want to edit and then click
.Copy and paste the commands from the configuration file on the source server to the corresponding configuration file on the destination server, then click
.If you intend to change the IP address on your destination server to be the same as the IP address of your source server, you must edit your configuration files and change the IP address in two places: autoexec.ncf and sys:\etc\hosts.
Copy the source server’s IP address and paste it into the destination server’s autoexec.ncf file. (This works only if your IP LOAD and BIND statements are located in autoexec.ncf.) You also need to go to the server console of the destination server and change the IP address in the sys:\etc\hosts file. Look for the original name of the destination server.
If you use INETCFG to assign IP addresses, change the IP addresses after the migration is complete.
(Conditional) If you are using configured time sources (timesync.cfg), copy and paste your Timesync information from the source server’s timesync.cfg file to the destination server’s timesync.cfg file.
Close the Compare Configurations dialog box.
