Migrating eDirectory 8.8 SP5 from
5
Netware to OES 2.0
eDirectory migration utility allows administrators to transfer data and services from an existing
server to another location on a Cypress server in the same eDirectory tree. In addition to moving
data, it is possible move the identity of the server box onto the new box.
Migrating eDirectory from NetWare primarily requires the migration of the data and the eDirectory
server identity to provide seamless accessibility after the migration.The migration process involves
pre-migration tasks, server backups, server state and health validations; server migration and post-
migration tasks.
eDirectory migration is performed through three major tasks that get plugged-in as part of the
Cypress migration tool. This tool along with other subcomponents provides the server migration and
consolidation service for migration to Cypress environment.
IMPORTANT: The eDirectory migration utility is designed to run on Linux versions of Cypress
which will be the target platforms for migration. Hardware and supported platform requirements are
aligned with the corresponding Cypress supported platform matrix.
