1 0
To prepare your network for a server migration with the Novell
complete the tasks in the following sections:
• Section 10.1, "Meeting System and Software Requirements," on page 91
• Section 10.2, "Preparing the Source Server for Migration," on page 92
• Section 10.3, "Installing the Destination Server," on page 92
10.1 Meeting System and Software
Requirements
The Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, which includes NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1,
runs on a Windows workstation. This section provides information about the system and software
requirements for the Windows workstation, the source server, and the destination server.

10.1.1 Workstation Requirements

NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1 is installed as part of the Server Consolidation and Migration
Toolkit. If you have not already met the workstation requirements and installed the toolkit, see
Section 3.2, "Installing the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit," on page

10.1.2 Source Server Requirements

The source server is the NetWare server that contains the files, volumes, and NDS
objects to be copied to the NetWare destination server.
The source server must be running a supported version of NetWare. See
"Supported Source and Destination Server Versions," on page 18
If necessary, update the source server with the latest NetWare Support Pack.
Updates are available at the
tools/csp).
You must have the Supervisor right to the source server's file system and the source server
itself.
®
Use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the necessary rights.
IMPORTANT: When migrating a NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory version 8.6.2 to a new
NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory 8.6.2, you might encounter an NDS error stating you
couldn't copy an NDS object because you do not have the proper rights. This can occur even if
you are logged in as Admin.
Installing eDirectory version 8.7 or later on the source server and running the migration again
resolves this issue.
