Using The Utility To Consolidate Ndps Printer Agents - Novell SERVER CONSOLIDATION MIGRATION TOOLKIT 1.1 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 12-23-2005 Administration Manual

• iPrint maps and custom images are not migrated. If you are hosting these on your iPrint server,
you need to copy them to the destination server.
• Driver Profiles and Custom banners are migrated. If a Printer Agent uses a custom banner, the
Server Consolidation Utility copies the custom banner to the new Print Manager. If a banner
with the exact same content already exists on the destination Print Manager, the banner is not
migrated and the Printer Agent is assigned the custom banner that already exists on the
destination server.
If there is no match for the custom banner, then the banner is copied from the source Print
Manager using its same name. In the event that a banner with the same name but different
options already exists on the destination Print Manager, the banner is copied from the source
Print Manager and renamed as banner_name_0x.
For example, if a custom banner with the name of Banner1 already exists on the destination
Print Manager with different options, then the banner is copied to the destination and renamed
Banner1_01.
The same is true for driver profiles.

6.8.2 Using the Utility to Consolidate NDPS Printer Agents

Follow these steps to consolidate NDPS Printer Agents to an NDPS Print Manager within the same
eDirectory tree.
1 If necessary, start the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit and select the following
options to launch the Server Consolidation Utility:
• NetWare or Open Enterprise Server (eDirectory)
• Consolidate and Copy Data and Printing Between Servers
2 Create a new consolidation project by following the steps in
Consolidation Utility and Create a Project File," on page
3 Select the same tree for both the source and the destination tree.
Migrating NDPS printers is supported only within the same eDirectory tree. See
"Select a Source and Destination Tree," on page 43
4 In the Project Window's source pane, locate the PSM that has the Printer Agents (printers) you
want to move.
5 In the destination pane, locate the PSM that is to receive the Printer Agents.
6 Drag-and-drop the individual Printer Agents from the source PSM to the destination PSM.
Make sure the PSMs are running on both the source and destination servers before you attempt
to drag-and-drop the associated Printer Agents. If you don't do this, you will get unpredictable
results.
7 Click Project > Verify and Copy Data to verify the project and start the migration.
The utility checks to ensure that it can communicate with the source Resource Management
Service (RMS) and the destination Print Broker. It also verifies that the moves you want to
make are valid.
During the verification, the Dropped Printers dialog displays the source and destination
locations for the printers you are moving in this consolidation project.
• If the source and destination locations are correct, click Next.
