2 Migrating Data from NetWare 4, 5, or 6
When you migrate data from a NetWare
®
4, NetWare 5, or NetWare 6 source
server to a NetWare destination server, Novell
®
NetWare Migration Wizard 6
copies the file system and NDS
®
database from the source server to the newly
installed NetWare destination server.
After the source server’s file system and NDS database is migrated to the
destination server, the source server is automatically brought down and the
destination server reboots and assumes the name and identity of the source
server on your existing network.
Before you can migrate your data, you must first install a destination NetWare
server in a temporary NDS tree. A temporary tree is simply a tree that contains
one server with a basic installation of NetWare and no additional products
installed (other than SMS
TM
or any other default products).
