Edit Configuration Files
1 In the Project Window, click Edit Configuration Files.
Migration Wizard lets you modify any .NCF or .CFG files on the
destination server. These files contain default LOAD statements and
parameters.
IMPORTANT: If you are editing your AUTOEXEC.NCF, make sure the file is
closed before you migrate your NDS database.
2 In the text box, select the configuration file that you want to edit and then
click Edit File.
3 Copy and paste the commands from the configuration file on the source
server to the corresponding configuration file on the destination server.
When you are finished, click Save & Close.
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 the 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 INETCONFIG to assign IP addresses, change the IP addresses
after the migration is complete.
4 (Conditional) If you are using configured time sources
(TIMESYNC.CFG), then copy and paste your timesync information from
the source server’s TIMESYNC.CFG file to the destination server’s
TIMESYNC.CFG file.
5 Close the Compare Configurations dialog box.
Continue with the next section, "Begin NDS Migration."
