11.8 Perform Post-Migration Tasks

1 Run DSRepair on the destination server and select Unattended Full Repair to ensure that
eDirectory is functioning properly.
®
2 Using ConsoleOne
TIP: During the migration, the standard sys: directory from the source server is saved in the
sys.mig directory on the destination server.
3 Run DSRepair > Time Synchronization to verify that your source server is synchronized with
the rest of your servers.
4 Verify that the correct IP address is assigned to the new server in all appropriate files.
For example, check autoexec.ncf, sys:\etc\hosts, and sys:\etc\hostname, or
type config at the server console.
IMPORTANT: Failure to have the correct IP address in the hosts or hostname files causes the
post-installation of some products to fail.
5 (Conditional) If you have performed a migration to a NetWare 6.0 destination server, verify
that sys:\public\rootcert.der exists.
If it does not exist, copy the file from an existing server on the network, or create a new one
following the instructions in
searchtid.cgi?/10066860.htm).
If the rootcert.der file does not exist, a post-migration install of applications could fail.
6 (Conditional) If you haven't already done so, install the latest NetWare Support Pack on the
destination server.
This ensures that you get the latest code for the applications that you are reinstalling. The latest
Support Packs are available at the
patlst.htm).
7 Reinstall any server applications.
IMPORTANT: Because the source server's eDirectory database replaces the destination
server's eDirectory database, all eDirectory objects on the destination server before the
migration, including those representing applications, are replaced by the eDirectory objects that
exist on the source server. However, the NLM programs associated with the destination server's
applications still exist. Because you cannot manage applications without their corresponding
eDirectory objects, you must reinstall the applications to restore their eDirectory objects to the
tree.
You can reinstall these network products and services using either of two methods:
Perform Post-Migration
