Server-to-Server Connections

File Copy

If you have problems establishing or maintaining connections between your
servers, try one or more of these troublshooting suggestions:
Do not remove the source or destination server from the NDS tree. The
servers must be able to communicate with the other servers in the tree
during the migration.
Make sure the destination and source servers can communicate with each
other.
For IPX connections, enter DISPLAY SERVERS at the server console.
For IP connections, enter PING at the server console.
If you are using IPX, make sure the frame type and the IPX network
number/server ID are consistent between the source and destination
servers. For IP connections, verify that you have corresponding
addressing, subnet mask, and gateway information.
Reboot the destination server.
There are a few common troubleshooting procedures you can try if you are
having problems during the file copy:
Enable login on both the destination and source servers. If you have
disabled login before you started the file copy, the servers can't log in to
each other in order to migrate the files.
NOTE:
If you have selected to do so, Migration Wizard disables login for you
during the migration.
If files are copying very slowly, make sure that the servers and
workstation are configured at the lowest common LAN speed. Verify that
the NICs and anything in between are all hard coded to either
communicate half-duplex or full-duplex; they need to be the same
throughout. If there are problems with full-duplex, use half-duplex.
If compressed files are migrated to uncompressed volumes, file copy
might be slower.
