11.2 Model Your Migration Project

The Project Window and the Getting Started Migrating from NetWare 5 or 6 window appear after
you have created the migration project file.
If you do not want the Getting Started window to appear the next time you run the Migration
Wizard, deselect Always Show This Window. Click Close to close the Getting Started window and
begin modeling your project.
The Project Window is where you can model different migration scenarios before you begin the
actual migration. To do this, you drag volumes and folders from the left pane (which displays the
source serverr's volumes) and drop them into volumes and folders in the right pane (which shows
the destination server's volumes).
Dragging-and-dropping data in the Project Window does not immediately perform the action. It only
creates a preview of where the data will ultimately reside on the destination server. The data is
copied only after the project verification is complete and the migration process begins.

11.2.1 Working in the Project Window

To begin modeling your migration project, decide what file system data on the source server will be
copied to which volumes and folders on the destination server. You can drag-and-drop entire
volumes or just selected folders from the source server to the destination server.
You can also move created and dropped folders around in the destination pane by dragging them to
the desired location.
Other Project Window Actions
In addition to dragging-and-dropping volumes and folders, you can perform several other tasks in
the Project Window:
