Begin NDS Migration
1 In the Project Window, click Begin NDS Migration.
2 Back up all volumes that you are not planning to migrate and complete
the following tasks before continuing:
 Make sure all volume data migrated successfully.
 Make sure all critical errors from the file copy are resolved.
 Make sure the servers in your source NDS tree are in time sync and
that NDS is synchronized. For more information, see Step 2 on page
31.
3 Click Next.
4 Insert the licensing diskette, browse to or enter the path to the licensing
file, and then click Next.
If you have an MLA, you also have the option of selecting the MLA
instead of inserting the licensing diskette.
5 Select Yes or No to update the source server’s schema.
Migration Wizard will update the source server’s schema to include the
NDS classes of the default applications that are installed on the
destination server.
If you select No, by default the Yes radio button is enabled, which causes
Migration Wizard to compare the source and destination schemas. This
comparison will help you determine how to extend your schema in
preparation for the migration.
6 Before continuing, verify that you have run the DSREPAIR procedures in
Step 2 on page 31 to verify that the NDS tree containing the source server
is functioning correctly, click Yes or No to acknowledge that your tree is
healthy, and then click Next.
Migration Wizard does not prevent you from continuing if you have not
run DSREPAIR to verify the health of your tree. However, if your tree is
unhealthy before you begin the migration, the migration might not
complete successfully.
7 If you are migrating from NetWare 4 running Border Manager, NetWare
5, or NetWare 6, you will be prompted to copy and transfer the NICI
configuration files from the source server to the destination server. Just
follow the on-screen instructions and when the NICI configuration is
complete, continue with the next step.
