1.3 Supported Source and Destination Server Versions

The utilities included in this release of the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit support the source and destination server configurations listed below. These minimum server versions, and all newer versions, have been tested and are supported by Novell. Older server versions might work, but they have not been tested with this release of the toolkit. Novell recommends that all servers be updated to the latest Support Pack before attempting a consolidation or migration.

Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit does not support eDirectory 8.8. If you want to upgrade to eDirectory 8.8, perform migration or consolidation first, then upgrade the newly-migrated servers to eDirectory 8.8.
