Overview of MIGRATE.EXE | |
A Novell client migration utility (MIGRATE.EXE) is shipped
on a floppy disk with this product. This utility is required to
migrate the NetWare 3.1x bindery and trustee databases to NetWare
4.10 Directory Services (NDS). MIGRATE.EXE runs from a client PC and must be run twice to
complete the migration. It must be run first while your 3.1x server
is still up and running, to collect and store bindery and trustee
data. Thus, running MIGRATE.EXE is the first step in migrating your
system to NetWare 4.10. After NetWare 4.10 and NDS are installed,
you must run MIGRATE.EXE a second time to transfer the data to the
new environment. Use of MIGRATE.EXE is enforced by swinstall. Because failure
to use MIGRATE.EXE would cause loss of all data stored in the bindery
and trustee databases, such as user and group records, trustee assignments,
and file and directory restrictions, the NetWare 4.10 installation
program will abort itself if it detects that both a previous version
of NetWare exists on your system and that MIGRATE.EXE has not been
run. MIGRATE.EXE Steps | |
The following steps, explained in detail below, summarize
the procedure to collect and store bindery and trustee data on your
3.1x server. Unpack the migration utility onto the PC. Insert the NetWare/9000 Client Utility Disk, which was shipped
with the NetWare/9000 into the PC On the PC, create a directory for the migration
utility, such as C:\MIGRATE. Change to that directory and, assuming the floppy
is in drive A:, enter: C:\MIGRATE>a:mig_unpk
From an HP 9000 log in to the 3.1x host system as
root and ensure that the NetWare 3.1x server is up and that other
users are not logged in to the system using the userlist or conndata
utilites. The network_trash_folder is not used in NetWare 4.1 Therefore,
to avoid unnecessary error messages when you migrate, remove this
directory from the SYS volume. cd sys_volume_path rm -fr network_trash_folder From the PC, log in to the 3.1x server as SUPERVISOR
using the syntax: login server_name/supervisor /b On the PC, change (cd) to the directory where MIGRATE.EXE
is located. On the PC, start the MIGRATE utility by running
the command: MIGRATE On the PC, at the "Select the type of migration"
window, select: Same-Server migration. On the PC, at the "Select the source LAN
type" window, select: Netware 3.x On the PC, at the "Select destination LAN
type" window, select: Netware 4.x On the PC, set the working directory to the top
level of the SYS volume of the 3.1x server. To do so, at the prompt, "Working directory,"
press: [Enter] A data-entry box appears with the heading "Specify
the full working directory path." If necessary, use [Backspace] to erase the default entry and
then enter the server name and the SYS volume in the format: servername\SYS: On the PC, the setting for "Error/warning
action" is optional. Errors and warnings will be written
to the file MIGxxx.RPT in the SYS volume of
the server. You will be able to view this file later using the Migration
Utility. On the PC, at the "Define the NetWare 3.x
source server" section, press [Enter] at the "Server"
field to select a list of servers. Then press [Enter] again to select the name of your server. On the PC, at the "Information to migrate"
field, use the arrow keys and [F5] to select each item EXCEPT "All
information" and "Print queues and print server."
Printer migration is not supported. Press [Enter] when done. On the PC, back at the previous screen, at the "Source
volumes to migrate" field, use the arrow keys and [F5]
to select all the volumes on your 3.1x server. Press [Enter] when
done. The section of the utility with the heading "Define
the NetWare 4.x destination server" cannot be completed
until you have set up the new 4.1 server online. To start the migration, press [F10] and select "Migrate
to the working directory." The Migration Utility will now create the records it needs
to migrate your 3.1x data to 4.1. This may take a few minutes for
small volumes and about 30 minutes for large volumes (over 25,000
files and directories). When the procedure is completed, press [Enter] to
exit the migration utility and logout from the 3.1x server. | | | |  | CAUTION: MIGRATE.EXE creates a configuration file on the PC
called MIGRATE.CFG. Make a backup copy of this MIGRATE.CFG file
in another directory, on a floppy disk, or on another server, because
if the file is lost or damaged, you will not be able to complete
the migration. | | | | |
On the server, shutdown HP-UX 3.1x for the last
time using the command: stopnw stopnps Continue to "Step 3: Upgrade Your System."
