If TSAFS is not loaded on the source or destination server, manually load it.
On a NetWare server, enter load tsafs. On an OES Linux server, enter /
opt/novell/sms/bin/smsconfig -l tsafs.
Action: On a small network with three or fewer servers, you do not need to configure
SLP. Instead, edit the sys:etc/hosts file on the source server to contain
the IP address and DNS name of the destination server, and vice versa on the
destination server.
After editing the sys:etc/hosts files, you might need to reload
smdr.nlm and tsafs.nlm on your NetWare servers.
Action: Enter display slp services smdr.novell//(svcname-
ws==source_ server_name) (replace source_server_name with the
name of your source server) at the destination server console.
If it appears there is a problem with SLP, go to

configuration information.
"Specified TSA Does Not Exist" Errors When Copying Data from NetWare to OES
Linux
Possible Cause: The SMDR daemon needs to be restarted on the OES Linux server.
Action: Enter rcnovell-smdrd restart at the Linux server's shell prompt.
Trustee Rights Restored to Wrong User in Tree-to-Tree Copy
Problem: In a tree-to-tree consolidation scenario, it is possible to have users with the
same Common Name (CN) that exist in multiple contexts in the destination
tree (for example, jdoe.users.novell, jdoe.mktg.novell, and jdoe.sales.novell).
If you do not match up the user in the source tree with the desired user in the
destination tree, SMS automatically copies trustee rights to the first user match
it finds.
Action: Before running the consolidation, be sure to match up the users in the source
tree with the correct users in the destination tree.
Server Consolidation Performance Problems
Explanation: The performance of a project can be determined by looking at the success log
after a project completes. The success log gives the amount of time the project
took to complete and the amount of data copied.
There are several factors that determine the performance of the file copy. It is
also important that each server be updated to the latest Support Pack to ensure
you have the latest performance enhancements for SMS
Possible Cause: Heavy traffic on the network.
Action: Speeds can be increased by connecting servers and the workstation to a
dedicated switch.
Possible Cause: A mismatch in duplexing among servers, switches, and the workstation.
