The following is an example of transferring a NetWare 6.5 SP7 server to an OES server, using the Transfer ID option in the OES Migration Tool.
Table E-5 Service Migration Summary
|
Pre-Migration (Source Server) |
Post-Migration (Target Server) |
|---|---|
|
A NetWare 6.5 SP7 server with the following:
|
An OES server on new hardware with the same name and eDirectory identity
|
Prepare your servers by following the instructions in Preparing for Transfer ID
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
Make sure you do the following:
Install the OES target server in the same context as the NetWare source server, using the Novell Pre-Migration Server pattern and the patterns for all services that correspond to the services running on the NetWare server.
This ensures that eDirectory is installed on the target server without a replica and that the target server is prepared for all of the services being migrated.
For instructions, see Installing OES 2023 as a New Installation
in the OES 2023: Installation Guide.
If you are moving data from NSS volumes on the NetWare source server, create corresponding NSS volumes on the OES target server. Be sure to use the same names as on the source server.
Do not create any new volumes that will not have data migrated to them until after the Identity Transfer migration is completed.
Verify that the host name and DNS entries in your local /etc/hosts files and on the DNS server are correct.
Apply the latest SLES 11 and OES from the Novell Customer Center to the target server. For more information, see Updating (Patching) an OES Server
in the OES 2023: Installation Guide.
If the source server is running NetWare 6.5 SP7, install the SMS patch first. If the source server is running SP8, this is not necessary.
If you are migrating ZENworks 7 Server Management, delete the Distributor and Subscriber objects on the NetWare servers that will be migrated to OES.
Migrate your server by following the instructions in Using the Migration GUI Tool for Transfer ID
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
Make sure you do the following:
If you are moving data from NSS volumes on the NetWare source server, follow the instructions in Migrating File Systems to OES 2023
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
If you are migrating Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management, migrate the directories where you store your MSI, AOT, etc. You do not need to migrate the ZENworks program directory itself.
If you are migrating Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management, migrate the directories where you store your user applications, etc.
If you are transferring iPrint, follow the instructions in Migrating iPrint to OES 2023
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide. Do not perform the post-migration procedures at this point.
If you are transferring DHCP, follow the instructions in Migrating DHCP to OES 2023
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide. Do not perform the post-migration procedures at this point.
After all the services above have been successfully migrated, click the button to transfer the server identity and complete the Transfer ID Wizard.
Complete the remaining iPrint instructions, starting with Migrating ZENworks iPrint Policies
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
Complete the remaining iPrint instructions, starting with Post-Migration Procedures
in the OES 2023: Migration Tool Administration Guide.
IMPORTANT:You need the ZENworks for Desktops 7 SP1 IR3a HP4 patch for imaging on 64bit Linux.
Mount the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Linux CD on the OES server.
Install ZENworks 7 Desktop Management, selecting the features that you will use.
You can also do the silent install by modifying the silent.properties file and copying it to your machine.
Modify each NAL object to reflect the new path to the files on the OES Volume
Modify the Workstation objects so that they have the correct location for the images.
Open the ports in the firewall on the OES server.
Install ZENworks 7 Server Management on the OES server
Make sure that the Distributor and Subscriber objects are created.
IMPORTANT:If you did not delete the objects before the migration (Step 1), you get an error and they are not created. In this case, all of the paths still point to the NetWare volumes and ZENworks 7 Server Management does not function properly.
Resolve the certificates by using ConsoleOne.
Right-click any of the distributions that you created and assign them to the new distributor created when you installed ZENworks 7 Server Management on the server.
Access the Distributions that have paths, and modify them with the new paths.
If you were using variables, access the Subscriber and re-create the variables, making sure they point to the new location on the OES server.
Open the ports in the firewall on the OES server.
