(Conditional) If you are migrating data from NetWare 4, make sure that
the source server’s volumes are running long name space support on all
volumes to be copied.
To add long name space support to a NetWare 4.11 or NetWare 4.2
volume, enter the following at the server console: LOAD LONG and then
ADD NAME SPACE LONG TO volumename.
Load DSREPAIR and run the following three options:
Unattended Full Repair
Time Synchronization
Report Synchronization Status
Make sure that these finish with no errors.
Back up NDS and all data.
Preparing the Destination Server
The destination server is the new computer that will receive the data from the
source server. This server must be installed into a temporary tree.
After data is migrated from the source server to the destination server, the
destination server reboots and Migration Wizard automatically modifies the
destination server’s AUTOEXEC.NCF file to include the source server’s
name and internal IPX
TM
number/server ID. You don’t have to modify these
manually.
Valid destination servers can be running NetWare 5.0, 5.1, and 6. Migration
Wizard does not migrate to NetWare 4 destination servers.
Review the following tasks before installing the NetWare operating system on
the destination server:
Use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the Supervisor right to the
destination server’s file system and the destination server itself.
Make sure you create a temporary NDS tree with a temporary NDS tree
name.
IMPORTANT: The temporary name and temporary NDS tree name must not be
the same as the source server’s name or NDS tree name; otherwise, the
destination server will not assume the identity of the source server after the
migration.
