The left pane lists a series of tasks to be completed for successful completion of the Transfer ID migration. Each task is associated with a symbol.
A check mark indicates successful completion of a task.
A cross (×) indicates failure of a task.
An exclamation mark (!) indicates a warning.
IMPORTANT:Some of the steps need to be performed manually. The GUI displays messages to ensure that you have completed the manual step. When the steps are completed, click
to proceed to the next step, or click and complete the step. If you skip the manual steps, errors are encountered in the subsequent steps.The following steps describe how each task is performed for transferring the source credentials to the target server:
eDirectory PreCheck: This step can be executed multiple times to verify the health of the eDirectory tree. Execution of this step has no effect on the source server and target server.
This step fails to execute if the prerequisites are not met.
Preparation: Removes the eDirectory from the target server. The LUM association with the groups and users is no longer available because the Unix Workstation object is also removed.
This step fails to execute if the prerequisites are not met.
DIB Copy: Creates a eDirectory DIB (Directory Information Base) copy of the source server on to the target server.
On completion of this step, the source server's DIB is locked and further operations are not permitted on the source server.
IMPORTANT:This command fails to execute if the replica ring is not in sync, or the time is not synchronized among all the servers in the replica ring.
The eDirectory database on the source server is locked. The eDirectory database and the NICI files are copied to the target server.
Shutdown Source: You need to manually shut down the source server and remove it from the network.
NOTE:If the source server is still active on the network, the Transfer ID migration fails to proceed to the next step.
DIB Restore: The eDirectory DIB backed up in Step 3 is restored on the target server. This includes its NICI keys and eDirectory information.
IP Address Change: The IP address of the target server and its services is changed to the source server IP address.
WARNING:If you are executing the Migration GUI through a remote SSH session, the Transfer ID GUI hangs and fails to proceed.
System: The target server IP address is overwritten with the source server IP address.
Services: The configuration files of the migrated services are given the new IP address of the target server.
Others: Executes the IP address change scripts for the services that do not have a migration plug-in. The IP address change scripts are located in the /opt/novell/migration/sbin/serveridswap/ipchange/nonplugin/ folder. If you need to change the IP address of any additional services, you must add the scripts to the nonplugin folder.
In this step, the Transfer ID Wizard runs the IP address change scripts located in the nonplugin folder.
NOTE:Mail notifications are not generated in this step, even if you have selected the settings to receive an e-mail.
Host Name Change: The hostname of the target server and its services is changed to the source server hostname.
System: The target server hostname is overwritten with the source server hostname.
Services: The configuration files of the migrated services are given the new hostname of the target server.
Others: Executes the hostname change scripts for the services that do not have a migration plug-in. The hostname change scripts are located in the /opt/novell/migration/sbin/serveridswap/hostchange/nonplugin/ folder. If you need to change the hostname of any additional services, you need to add the scripts in the nonplugin folder.
In this step, Transfer ID Wizard runs the hostname change scripts located in the nonplugin folder.
NOTE:Mail notifications are generated in this step, even if you have selected the settings to receive an e-mail.
Reinitialize Server: Reinitializes the target server with the IP address and hostname of the source server. In this step eDirectory is also restarted.
Repair: This step repairs LUM, eDirectory, and other OES services on the target server.
E Dir: Verifies the health of the eDirectory and also repairs the eDirectory.
Certificates: A repair is performed on the target server certificate and the eDirectory certificate.
LUM: Performs the following steps to configure LUM on the server:
Creates a UNIX Workstation object.
Regenerates the certificate for LUM on the target server.
Associates the admin, novlxtier and www groups to the target servers’s UNIX Workstation object.
Associates the admin, novlxregd, wwwrun, and novlxsrvd to the target server’s UNIX Workstation object.
Refreshes the LUM cache.
Services: Repairs all the services that are migrated to the target server.
Others: Executes the repair scripts for the services that do not have a migration plug-in. The scripts are located in the /opt/novell/migration/sbin/serveridswap/repair/nonplugin/ folder. If you need to repair any additional services, you must add the scripts in the nonplugin folder.
In this step, Transfer ID Wizard runs the scripts located in nonplugin folder.
Restart Server: Manually restart you target server for the changes to be effective.
On successful completion of the Transfer ID migration, the target server functions with the source server’s eDirectory identity.
