Server Consolidation and Migration Overview
13
This section describes how the Server Consolidation Utility works and provides some example
scenarios of how you can use it to consolidate your data.
1.1.1 Server Consolidation Projects
The Server Consolidation Utility is a versatile tool that lets you perform a variety of consolidation
projects.
NetWare-to-NetWare Consolidations
For NetWare to NetWare consolidations, you can reorganize your network by copying data from any
number of existing NetWare source servers to any number of NetWare destination servers. The
accompanying rights, trustees, ownership, and name space information are copied to the destination
server along with the files.
You can copy entire volumes or specific directories between servers in the same eDirectory tree or in
different eDirectory trees. The source server can even be the same as the destination server.
NDPS Printer Agent Consolidations
As part of a NetWare-to-NetWare consolidation, you can reassign several Novell Distributed Print
Services (NDPS) Printer Agents to a single NDPS Print Manager within the same tree. This
simplifies your network printing configuration.
NetWare-to-OES Linux Consolidations
For NetWare-to-OES Linux consolidations, you can copy data from NetWare source servers to OES
TM
Linux destination servers. The OES Linux server must have a Novell Storage Services
(NSS)
volume. As with NetWare-to-NetWare consolidations, all NetWare rights, trustees, ownership, and
namespace information are copied to the destination server along with the files.
iPrint Migrations
As part of a NetWare-to-OES Linux consolidation, you can migrate iPrint Print Managers and
Printer Agents from a NetWare 6.5 environment to an OES Linux environment.
Windows-to-OES Linux or NetWare Consolidations
You can also use the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from servers in Windows NT or
Windows 2000/2003 domains to OES Linux or NetWare servers in Novell eDirectory trees. NTFS
permissions and ownership information are converted to Linux or NetWare equivalents and
transferred along with the necessary users and groups.
When copying data from Windows to OES Linux servers, the destination can be a Linux traditional
TM
file system such as Reiser or ext3. The Novell NCP
Server must be loaded on the OES Linux
server.
1.1.2 Drag-and-Drop Modeling
With the Server Consolidation Utility, you model your consolidation project using drag-and-drop
procedures.
14 Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit Administration Guide
The utility’s main project window displays the source tree on the left-hand side and the destination
tree on the right-hand side. To model your project, you simply drag folders or entire volumes from
the source pane and drop them to the desired location in the destination pane. This gives you a visual
representation of how the data will be organized on the destination servers.
No data is actually copied during the modeling phase, so you are free to rearrange the data structure
until you are satisfied with it.
When you are ready to proceed with the data copy, the Server Consolidation Utility performs a precopy verification of the project. This helps prevent errors from interrupting your server
consolidation and allows you to correct mistakes before data is copied to the destination servers.
1.1.3 Example Consolidation Scenarios
The benefits the Server Consolidation Utility provides can be better understood through examining
some sample consolidation scenarios.
Basic Server Consolidation: Many-to-One
In the first scenario (see Figure 1-1), suppose you have three existing NetWare servers. You recently
purchased a multiprocessor server that you want to install Open Enterprise Server for NetWare on to
take advantage of NetWare's multiprocessor-enabled features. You want to copy the data from each
of the three servers to the single NetWare server. Rather than manually moving all the data and
Printer Agents, or backing up the data on each of the three servers and then restoring it to the
NetWare server, you can use the Server Consolidation Utility to automate the process.

eDirectory Tree
Server 1 Server 2 Server 3
Data
Volumes
Data Migration
MP Server
Although Figure 1-1 shows the servers all in the same eDirectory tree, the Server Consolidation
Utility lets you do tree-to-tree consolidations as well.
Consolidating Data from Multiple Servers onto a Two-Node Cluster
In the second scenario (see Figure 1-2), suppose you have five existing NetWare servers. You
recently purchased two multiprocessor servers and the necessary hardware to create a two-node
cluster complete with an attached Storage Area Network (SAN). You have decided to install OES
TM
NetWare on the two-node cluster because OES NetWare comes with Novell Cluster Services
software and a two-node cluster license. You want to copy the data from each of the five servers to
the SAN on the two-node cluster. Rather than manually moving all the data and Printer Agents or
Server Consolidation and Migration Overview 15
backing up the data and restoring it to the SAN, you can use the Novell Server Consolidation Utility,
which automates the data migration process.

Cross-Platform Data Consolidations
As mentioned previously, the Server Consolidation Utility lets you copy data from Windows servers
in a Windows NT domain or Windows 2000/2003 Mixed Mode domain to servers in a Novell
eDirectory tree.
If you have Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES), you can use the Server Consolidation Utility to
copy data between the following server platforms:
• NetWare to NetWare
•NetWare to OES Linux
• Windows NT/2000/2003 to NetWare
• Windows NT/2000/2003 to OES Linux
1.2 Migration Overview
The NetWare Migration Wizard is a server data and identity migration tool to help you transfer file
system data and the NDS/eDirectory database from an existing NetWare server to a new NetWare
server on your network. When the migration is complete, the new server replaces and assumes the
identity of the old server on the network.
NetWare Migration Wizard version 8.1 supports migrations from NetWare 4, NetWare 5, or
NetWare 6 source servers. Destination servers must be running NetWare 6. It also supports Open
Enterprise Server (OES) for NetWare as a source and destination server.
You can create a migration project to do the following:
• Migrate file system data and NDS/eDirectory information from an existing NetWare server to a
new NetWare server. Although you can use the Migration Wizard to reorganize the server data
16 Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit Administration Guide
and resize volumes, it is best suited for migrations requiring a minimal amount of volume
reorganization.
• Transfer file system and eDirectory information from an old NetWare server that is scheduled
to be decommissioned to a faster, more reliable server running the latest version of NetWare.
This is an easy way to upgrade a server’s OS and hardware at the same time.
At this time, NetWare Migration Wizard handles only NetWare-to-NetWare migrations.
IMPORTANT: If you want to migrate data from servers in Microsoft Windows domains, or
consolidate data from one or more NetWare servers to existing OES NetWare servers, OES Linux
TM
servers, or Novell Branch Office
servers, use the Novell Server Consolidation Utility 4.11 that is
included as part of the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit.
This section describes what NetWare Migration Wizard is and how you can use it to migrate data
from an existing NetWare server to a new NetWare 6 or OES NetWare server.
1.2.1 About NetWare Migration Wizard
NetWare Migration Wizard is designed to help you transfer the identity of one server to another
server. This is what is referred to as a server hardware upgrade.
NOTE: If you want to add a new server with a new name into your network, you wouldn't use the
Migration Wizard; you would use the NetWare server installation program.
NetWare Migration Wizard is an ideal tool for moving existing NetWare data onto faster, more
reliable server hardware. It is a Windows-based program that you run on a workstation. With the
Migration Wizard, you model your migration project using simple drag-and-drop procedures before
you actually perform the migration. This helps prevent errors from interrupting your data migration
and allows you to prevent mistakes before they happen.
You can also take advantage of this modeling capability to reorganize the data on your server and
even resize volumes, if needed. However, Migration Wizard is best suited for migrations requiring a
minimal amount of volume reorganization.
As you work through the modeling phase of NetWare Migration Wizard, all of your decisions are
recorded in a migration project file. At any time during the modeling process, you can save the
project file, exit the utility, and then restart Migration Wizard and resume from where you left off.
After the modeling phase is completed, you can proceed with the actual migration. This process is
divided into four basic steps:
• Step 1: Copy File System Data.
Using the data contained in the migration project file, Migration Wizard copies the files and
folders (or even entire volumes) you selected from the source server to a newly installed
destination server. All file system data, including meta-data such as file trustees, ownerships
and attributes, is copied from the old machine to the new one.
• Step 2: Edit Configuration Files.
During this step, Migration Wizard presents configuration files such as autoexec.ncf and
startup.ncf side-by-side so you can easily copy commands and settings from the source server's
configuration files to matching files on the destination server.
Server Consolidation and Migration Overview 17
• Step 3: Begin NDS/eDirectory Migration.
The NDS/eDirectory files are transferred from the old server to the new one without any
additional work on your part. After the migration, the eDirectory partitions that existed on the
old server will exist on the new server. This is because the Migration Wizard backs up the
entire eDirectory database on the source server and then restores it on the destination server.
• Step 4: Finish NDS/eDirectory Migration.
After the source server’s file system and NDS/eDirectory database are migrated to the
destination server, the source server is automatically brought down and the destination server
reboots and assumes the name and identity of the source server on your existing network.
Before you can migrate your data, you must first install a destination NetWare server in a temporary
eDirectory tree (see Figure 1-3). A temporary eDirectory tree is simply a tree that contains one
server with a pre-migration installation of NetWare and no additional products installed (other than
SMS and other products installed by default).
Figure 1-3 Server Hardware Upgrade with Migration Wizard 8.1
Migration Wizard automatically modifies the destination server’s autoexec.ncf file to include
TM
the source server’s name and internal IPX
manually. Because the server's identity has been transferred from one physical server to another, you
don't need to upgrade any client applications that might be doing drive mappings or running
applications based on the server name. However, you do have to manually change the IP address of
the destination server to match that of the source server.
Migration Wizard does not migrate any products and services that are running on the source server.
After the migration is complete, you need to reinstall all applications on the destination server and
reconfigure them, if necessary.

into his or her eDirectory account on NetWare. The time-consuming process of having the
Server Consolidation Utility copy the NT Profile directory is no longer needed and has been
removed.
2.2.5 Server Consolidation Utility 2.6
New features in version 2.6 let you:
• Exclude specific file types or filenames from the copy process
For example, copy all of the data from a volume except for any .mp3 files.
• Automatically compare file information between the source and destination after the copy
process completes to validate the integrity of the file copy
This includes the option of doing a detailed binary (byte-by-byte) comparison.
• Check for sufficient disk space on the destination server before beginning the file copy
• Disable login on the source server during the copy process
• Specify a default server and home directory path for any new users you create on the
destination server
• Copy an expanded list of user attributes when creating users

2.3 What’s New in the NetWare Migration Wizard
This section lists the new features and enhancements in recent versions of the NetWare Migration
Wizard.
TIP: Each new release of NetWare Migration Wizard includes performance enhancements and bug
fixes that increase the speed and reliability of NetWare migrations. If you have had unsatisfactory
results with early versions of this utility, we encourage you to give the latest version a try.
2.3.1 NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1
NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1 includes the following new and enhanced features:
• The ability to perform a full backup of all the source server’s trustees has been removed from
the NetWare Migration Wizard. This confusing and time-consuming step is not necessary as
long as you do a full backup of your source server.
You can still choose to back up trustees for the files you are migrating.
• Migration Wizard 8.1 now supports NetWare 4.x and NetWare 5.0 as source servers. This
functionality was previously available only in Migration Wizard 6.5.
2.3.2 NetWare Migration Wizard 8.0
NetWare Migration Wizard 8.0 includes the following new and enhanced features:
• Added the ability to filter the files you want to copy according to creation, last accessed, or
modified dates.Let you exclude specific file types or file names from the copy process.Included
an option to synchronize file and folders so that data deleted while you model a migration
project is also deleted on the destination server when you run the project.Gave you the option
to automatically compare file information between the source and destination after the copy
process is complete to validate the integrity of the file copy.
2.3.3 NetWare Migration Wizard 7.1
NetWare Migration Wizard 7.1 includes the following enhanced feature:
• Allows migration directly from a NetWare 6 source server to a NetWare 6.5 destination server.
What’s New 23
2.3.4 NetWare Migration Wizard 7.0
NetWare Migration Wizard 7.0 includes the following new and enhanced features:
• Speeds up the file copy procedure by implementing multithreading in determining file sizes
while the file copy is running.
In previous versions of the Migration Wizard, the file copy procedure did not begin until the
file sizes were completely discovered. With Migration Wizard 7.0, the copy procedure and the
file size determination occured simultaneously.
• Allows NICI keys to be transferred across the wire during the migration.
