to OES 2 Linux
eDirectory migration from NetWare® requires the migration of eDirectory data and server identity
TM
to provide seamless accessibility after migration.The eDirectory migration utility performs all of the
pre-migration tasks, health validations and server backups; server migration, and post-migration
tasks for you.
The following sections give you more details on the migration procedure for eDirectory. For more
information, see the OES Migration Guide (http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/

migration.
Section 10.1.1, "System Requirements," on page 129
Section 10.1.2, "Prerequisites," on page 129
Section 10.1.3, "Supported Platforms," on page 130

10.1.1 System Requirements

The target server must run OES 2 and should have the eDirectory 8.8 SP5 RPMs already
installed.
If the target OES 2 server has a default eDirectory 8.8 SP5 instance already configured, this
instance should be active. This instance will be overwritten after the migration.
OES 2 does not support multiple instances of eDirectory on the same server, so any non-default
instances should not be running during migration.
The source NetWare server should be running and should not be part of any partition operation.
For more information on supported source NetWare server versions, refer to
Coexistence and Migration (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/
oes_implement_lx_nw/index.html?page=/documentation/oes2/oes_implement_lx_nw/data/
edir.html#edir-coexistnmig).

10.1.2 Prerequisites

The eDirectory migration utility will run only on the target server and must be able to access
the NetWare server remotely.
