Match User Options

The Match User Options tab is enabled when you select the Custom User Mapping option.

Match Users

When you migrate the volume to the target server, the users on the source server are migrated by default to the target server. You can specify which users to migrate and how to handle the migration if the user already exists on the target server.

  1. To view the list of users on the source server and target server, click Map Users.

    The users in the Source list and Target list can be categorized as mapped users and new users.

    • Existing or Mapped Users: The username on the source server has a corresponding username on the target server. If the users are mapped, only the trustee details are migrated.

    • New Users: Users do not exist on the target server. You can create new users on the target server or ignore the users.

  2. This is a global setting for all the users. Specify one of the following options to migrate users or ignore users.

    • Ignore All: Do not migrate the new users. Only existing users are migrated to the target server.

    • Create All: Create new users on the target server.

  3. (Optional) To specify settings that override the global handling for individuals and groups, click the user, then assign one of the migration options from the drop-down menu:

    • Create: Migrated users are assigned trustee rights of the target server.

    • Ignore: Do not migrate the users.

    • Browse: Browse and add the user to a new target context.

Migrating the Files

After you have finished configuring the parameters in each tab, click OK to save your file system migration setup, then return to the main Migration Tool window. The migration does not begin until you click Start in the main Migration Tool window.
