TIP: If you get NICI errors when eDirectory tries to load or when you copy the NICI files,
check to see if pki.nlm will load on the destination server. If it won't load, see
12.9, "NICI Errors," on page

Next.
If you want to first broadcast a logout message to any users logged in to the server, select

then click Next.
10 Perform the eDirectory step-by-step migration.
The eDirectory migration is divided into several steps. This is for diagnostic purposes. If the
eDirectory migration fails for any reason, you know exactly what step it failed on and can take
the appropriate measures to fix the problem.
For more information on the NDS/eDirectory migration process, including steps to restore the
source and destination servers, see
page

10a Click Next.
The first step changes autoexec.ncf and timesync.cfg; modifies the server name
in hosts, hostname, and snmp.cfg; and renames smdr.cfg to smdr.mig. The
first step also renames rootcert.der in both the sys:system and sys:public
directories to rootcert.der.bak.
At the end of the migration process, the source server is brought down and the destination
server reboots and takes over the name and identity of the source server.
Migration Wizard automatically modifies the following items in the destination server's
autoexec.ncf file:
• The file server name is changed to the name of the source server.
• The time zone is changed to the one stored in the source server's autoexec.ncf
file.
• The server ID is changed to the IPX
source server's autoexec.ncf file.
• The default time server type is changed to the value stored in the source server's
autoexec.ncf file.
• The bindery context is changed to the bindery context stored in source server's
autoexec.ncf file
IMPORTANT: During the migration, the source server's Timesync information is not
automatically migrated.
10b Click Next again.
This step backs up eDirectory and copies the eDirectory backup files to the destination
server and to sys:system\nuw30\ndsbu on the source server.
10c Down the source server by clicking Next.
