Verify Your Migration Project
Once you have modeled your migration in the Project Window, you should
verify that the proposed locations for these new objects do not conflict with
existing names in the destination NDS tree.
Remember, dragged-and-dropped items appearing in the NDS tree are merely
assigned to be copied to that area in the NDS tree. Objects will not actually be
migrated until you begin the migration.
Once you have modeled your migration project, you can run a standalone
verification wizard or you can verify and migrate at the same time. Running
the standalone verification wizard prior to migration is not mandatory;
however, catching any critical errors or warnings before you begin your
migration will speed up the verification process during the migration.
1 To run the standalone verification wizard, click Project > Verify Project.
2 Follow the procedure in the next section “Migrate Users and Data to the
Destination NDS Tree” on page 17, starting with Step 2.
Migrate Users and Data to the Destination NDS Tree
Although you have selected the volumes and containers where the NetWare 3
data will be copied, no data has been migrated. When migrated, NetWare 3
User objects are converted to NDS objects and placed in the destination NDS
tree. To begin the migration, do the following:
1 From the Migration Wizard toolbar, click Project > Verify and Migrate
Project.
IMPORTANT: If you are notified during the verification that certain NLM files are
outdated on your NetWare 3 source server, you must update those files. To update
the files, copy them from the Products\NW3X directory. It is important that you copy
only the NLM files that Migration Wizard prompts you to. After copying the NLM
files, reboot the NetWare 3 source server and launch Migration Wizard again.
The Products\NW3X directory is located in the same directory where Migration
Wizard was installed (C:\Program Files\Novell\Novell NetWare Migration
Wizard\Products\NW3X).
2 Read the Welcome Screen and then click Next.
3 (Conditional) If you are migrating more than one server, choose the order
that you want your servers migrated in and then click Next.
This matters only if you have duplicate User objects among your source
servers.
