This section describes how to migrate AFP from an OES source server to OES 2018 SP3 target server.
Before you proceed with the migration, review Prerequisites.
Server configuration information
Volume Aliases information
Contexts
OES server is already installed and AFP is configured. For details, see OES 2018 SP3: OES AFP for Linux Administration Guide.
NSS Pools and volumes are already migrated to the new OES 2018 SP3 server from supported OES server. Use the cluster migrate resource_name node_name command to migrate the cluster pools and volumes. For details, see Using the Cluster Migrate Command
in the OES 2018 SP3: OES Cluster Services for Linux Administration Guide.
Non-cluster NSS volumes are already migrated to the new OES 2018 SP3 server from supported OES server. This can be done by unmounting the corresponding file system from the source machine and mounting it on the target machine.
Before migration, manually edit afptcpd.conf file and set the number of threads within the valid range. For more information, see Modifying Thread Range.
Beginning with OES 2015, the valid thread range is changed to as follows:
Minimum threads: 3 to 32, default value: 3
Maximum threads: 4 to 512, default value: 32
Before migration, manually edit afptcpd.conf file and set the number of threads within the valid range and proceed with the migration procedure. If it is not changed and the minimum or maximum threads is out of the range, then AFP server will use default number of threads.
Migrating Server Configuration information:
Manual: Edit the /etc/opt/novell/afptcpd/afptcpd.conf in the source server and add support for DHX2 authentication and subtree search in the AUTH_UAM tag. After modifying the afptcpd.conf file, copy it from the source server to the target.
iManager:
Using the iManager plug-in, enable support for DHX2 authentication and subtree search. For details, see Administering the AFP Server
in the OES 2018 SP3: OES AFP for Linux Administration Guide.
Migrating Volume Alias information:
Copy the volume file /etc/opt/novell/afptcpd/afpvols.conf, from the source server to the target server.
Migrating Context information:
Copy the context file /etc/opt/novell/afptcpd/afpdircxt.conf from the source server to the target server.
Restart the AFP service for the configuration changes to take effect.
On successful migration, proceed to perform service specific proxy migration. For more information, see Section 30.0, Migrating Proxy users to OES 2018 SP3.
Verify that the migration process is complete by checking for the following details:
NMAS methods for AFP are installed and synched to the tree. For details, see Verifying LSM Installation
in the OES 2018 SP3: OES AFP for Linux Administration Guide.
Login to the AFP server and attempt accessing the data.
