When you install the target server for a Transfer ID migration, and you reach the
dialog box, you must select the option. This prepares eDirectory for the Transfer ID migration that you will perform later.If a target server is not installed with this option, it cannot be the target of a Transfer ID migration.
On migrating the NSS volumes, ensure that the volume names on both the source server and target server are same.
All the eDirectory replicas are synchronized.
Time is synchronized across all the servers that host the eDirectory replicas of the partition where the source server and the target server resides.
Ensure that all the eDirectory replicas are up and working in the current partition; otherwise, eDirectory migration cannot be completed successfully.
We recommend you to take a latest full backup of the source server for recovery needs in case of critical failures.
Shut down any applications, products, or services (virus scan software, backup software, etc.) running on the source server.
Ensure that the hostname and IP address of source server and target server are mapped correctly. The hostname can be resolved using the DNS server or using the /etc/hosts file.
(Conditional) If the source server is OES 1 Linux or OES 2 Linux, ensure you have copied the ssh keys to avoid multiple password prompts on execution of the
step.NOTE:Do not execute the Transfer ID Wizard through a remote SSH session.
