NetWare Migration Wizard 6 Aministration Guide
If the migration fails during the NDS Migration step, you need to restore the
source and destination servers to their original configuration before you can
retry the NDS migration. The instructions for restoring the servers to their
original configurations are different depending on when the migration of data
failed.
If Begin NDS Migration, button 3, failed and the destination server did not
reboot and take on the name and identity of the source server, complete the
steps in "Restore Source Server to Its Original Configuration" on page
If Begin NDS Migration, button 3, successfully completed and the destination
server has already rebooted and taken on the name and identity of the source
server, complete the steps in the following sections:
1. "Remove NDS from the Destination Server" on page 57
2. "Remove NDS from the Source Server" on page 58
3. "Restore NDS to the Source Server" on page 59
4. "Reinstall the Destination Server" on page 60
If Begin NDS Migration, button 3, failed and the destination server did not
reboot and take on the name and identity of the source server, you need only
restore NDS to the source server. Once NDS has been restored, you have
restored the source server to its original configuration and you are ready to try
the NDS migration again.
1
Enter one of the following at the server console of the source server:
If your source server is running NetWare 4, enter LOAD INSTALL.
If your source server is running NetWare 5 or later, enter
NWCONFIG.
2
Select Directory Options > Directory Backup and Restore > Restore
Local DS Information after Hardware Upgrade.
3
Press F3 and enter SYS:SYSTEM\NUW30\NDSBU when promted for
the location of the backup files.
NDS has now been restored to the source server.
IMPORTANT:
Do not reboot the destination server. Since the destination server
did not take over the identity of the source server, no other action is required prior
to performing the NDS migration again.
