4 During the installation, make sure that you do the following:
• As you create volumes, verify that you have enough room on your destination server to
accommodate your source server data.
If you are migrating compressed volumes to uncompressed volumes, Migration Wizard
decompresses the volumes during the migration. Make sure you have enough room on the
uncompressed volume to accommodate the source volumes after they are decompressed.
• Select the Pre-Migration Server pattern.
• Assign a different IP address to the destination server than is assigned to the source server.
After the migration completes and the source server is taken offline, you can change the
destination server's IP address to match what had been assigned to the source server.
• Assign the destination server a temporary name and install it into a new temporary
eDirectory tree.
You can name the server and tree anything you want (provided the names do not conflict
with any existing server or tree on the network), because they are only temporary and
cease to exist after the migration is complete.
IMPORTANT: The temporary server name and temporary tree name must not be the
same as the source server's name or tree name; otherwise, the destination server cannot
assume the identity of the source server after the migration.
5 (Conditional) If the destination server is running NetWare 6.5 or OES NetWare, you must
disable the Universal Password feature until the migration completes.
Universal Password is disabled by default on NetWare 6.5 and OES NetWare.
10.4 Tips for a Successful Migration
• When you run the NetWare Migration Wizard, you must be logged in to the network as a user
with the Supervisor right to both the source and destination servers. If you are not logged in
when you start the Migration Wizard, you can log in as you select the source and destination
trees.
• For better performance, we strongly recommend that the source server, destination server, and
client workstation run on a common LAN segment.
• You should use the fastest workstation available to run the Migration Wizard. If possible,
assign the workstation a static IP address. Turn off screen savers and power management to
avoid interruptions during the migration.
