Tools for Upgrading to OES 2 SP2
A
OES 2 SP2 contains the following utilities, each of which fulfills a specific migration or service-
consolidation purpose as explained in the following sections:
Section A.1, "OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool," on page 105
Section A.2, "Server Consolidation and Migration Tool (SCMT)," on page 107
Section A.3, "NetWare Migration Wizard," on page 107
Section A.4, "Additional Information," on page 107
A.1 OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool
The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool is the main tool for upgrading from NetWare
Migration Tool includes a consolidated GUI interface that lets you drag and drop the volumes and
services that you want to migrate. Terminal commands are also provided for those who prefer to
work at a terminal prompt (command line). Both the GUI and command line methods are
documented in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration
The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool runs exclusively on the destination OES server and pulls service
configuration information and data from the NetWare source server. A Windows workstation is not
required.
The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool is installed on every OES 2 SP2 server.
When you run the GUI Migration Tool, after selecting the source and target servers, you are
prompted to specify one of two migration types, as explained in the sections that follow.
Section A.1.1, "Consolidating Selected Data or Services," on page 105
Section A.1.2, "Transferring an Entire NetWare Server," on page 106
Section A.1.3, "More About Using the Migration Tool," on page 106
A.1.1 Consolidating Selected Data or Services
The first option is the Consolidate migration type.
Just as the name implies, a Consolidate migration is designed to migrate the services on multiple
servers to a single, more powerful OES 2 SP2 server. However, the type is very adjustable, letting
you specify only a single volume or service to migrate at a time. Obviously this lets you move data
and services with absolute flexibility.
As with all migrations using the Migration Tool, the target server must be installed using the Pre-
Migration Server installation pattern, and the patterns for the services you are planning to migrate to
the server must be installed but not configured.
