The Migration Tool aids the migration process from NetWare 6.5 SP8, OES 1 SP2 Linux, OES 2 SP3, OES 11, OES 2015, or OES 2018 servers to an OES 2018 SP1 server.
The tool provides a single interface to migrate multiple services. This interface supports different migration scenarios, authenticates to the source server and target server, configures and migrates multiple services, allows you to view the migration status of a service and the status of overall migration, and view service-specific logs. You can also schedule migration at your convenience, view the overall migration log, view the configuration summary of all the services scheduled for migration, and enable the sending of e-mail notifications.
This is the left pane. You use it to perform the following tasks:
Create, open, or save a migration project.
Schedule migration to run at the convenient time.
View the progress of migration in the log file.
View the configuration summary of all the services selected for migration.
This is the top pane. You use it to perform the following tasks:
Authenticate the source server and target server credentials.
Select the type of migration as Migrate or Transfer ID.
On successful authentication of the source server and target server, the IP address or the DNS name of the server is displayed below the server icon.
Depending on your requirements, select the migration type.
Migrate: Select this option if you want to migrate the services from the source server into an already running instance of the service on the target server. The source server and the target server can be in the same eDirectory tree or a different eDirectory tree.
NOTE:The data on the source server is not removed as the part of the migration process.
For example, if the target server is running with an iFolder instance and you need to copy the iFolder data available on the source server to the target server, you must select
. This scenario appends the iFolder data on the source server to the iFolder instance on the target server. The existing data on the target server is not overwritten with the source server data.Transfer ID: Select this option to transfer the server identity of the source server to the target server. The identity of the source server is made up of its IP address, hostname and the eDirectory DIB information. The source server and target server must be in the same eDirectory tree. For more information, refer to Transfer ID help file.
On successful completion of Transfer ID migration, the source server goes offline and the target server functions with the source server’s eDirectory information.
This is the central pane. Select the services that you plan to migrate, and configure the options. When multiple services are configured for migration, the order represents the sequence for migration of the services.
IMPORTANT:You must install all the services on the target server that you plan to migrate from the source server.
Services that are not installed on the target server prior to migration are not listed in the
dialog box, so they cannot be migrated.You can perform the following tasks:
Select and configure services for migration.
View the configuration summary of the service.
Synchronize the migrated service with the service on the source server.
These are the bottom panes. When you perform migration, the following details are displayed:
The progress of the migrating service.
The progress of overall migration.
Details on amount of data migrated or synced and the errors encountered.
This is located in the left bottom corner. It displays instructions and tips for successful migration.
