About the NetWare Migration Utility
NetWare Migration Utility v1.0 simplifies the upgrade process
from NetWare v2.1x and v2.2 to NetWare v3.11.
Introduction
------------
The NetWare Migration Utility allows you to upgrade your
servers from v2.1x and 2.2 to v3.11 using two methods:
o Across-the-wire, where you upgrade from a v2.1x server
to a v3.11 server that is on the same network.
o Same-server, where you upgrade your v2.1x server to a
v3.11 server.
Across-the-Wire Migration
-------------------------
Across-the-wire migration allows you to preserve your user
environment (users and their trustee assignments), as well
as the default account balances and restrictions, accounting
methods, and print queues and print servers. These entities
are all contained in the bindery. A bindery is a database
that contains definitions for entities such as users,
groups, workgroups, file servers, print servers, etc.
For more information on binderies, see "Bindery," in NetWare
v3.11 Concepts.
Data files are migrated across the network to the
destination server, while the selected bindery information
is migrated to the working directory on the local hard
drive, translated to the v3.11 bindery format, then migrated
to the destination server.
When you use the across-the-wire method, you can choose
either the Standard or the Custom migration option. The
Standard option provides the easiest path for a simple
migration: it migrates all information from the v2.1x
server, across the network, to a v3.11 server. The Custom
option lets you select specific information from
the bindery, as well as data files, so that you can migrate
a server or several servers (one at a time) and create a
customized destination server.
Same-Server Migration
---------------------
The same-server migration allows you to use only one server,
but there is some risk involved to the data because you have
to remove it from the server and remove the 286 partition as
well. Also, you may not be able to migrate the file attributes.
When you use the same-server method, you can
use only the Custom option because you cannot migrate data
files. You must back up your data files, then restore them
to the server after you install NetWare v3.11.
NetWare v3.x Overview
---------------------
For a discussion of new features in NetWare v3.1 and v3.11,
see "NetWare 386 Overview" in NetWare v3.11 Installation.
You may want to refer to other manuals in the NetWare v3.11
documentation set to familiarize yourself with v3.11 and the
changes made since v2.1x.
WARNING: The NetWare Migration Utility is not the same
utility as UPGRADE that is documented in NetWare v3.11
Installation. Do not use the UPGRADE instructions.
Requirements for Across-the-Wire Migration
------------------------------------------
o The NetWare Migration Utility files from NetWare Express.
o A DOS workstation with at least 640 KB of memory.
o Either a hard drive on the workstation with 5 MB of memory
free or another network drive.
o A 386-processor or higher machine with NetWare v3.11
installed.
o A network with the DOS workstation, source server, and
destination server attached.
Requirements for Same-Server Migration
--------------------------------------
o The NetWare Migration Utility files from NetWare Express.
o A DOS workstation with at least 640 KB of memory.
o Either a hard drive on the workstation with 5 MB of memory
free or another network drive.
o A 386-processor or higher machine as the server.
o A backup device to back up data files from the v2.1x
server and restore it to the v3.11 server.
The NetWare Migration Utility v1.0 has been compressed into the
file MIGRAT.ZIP. Download MIGRAT.ZIP and use PKUNZIP.EXE to
decompress the file. PKUNZIP.EXE is available on this service if
you don't already have a copy. To decompress the file type:
c:>pkunzip MIGRAT.ZIP <destination directory>:
The contents of the MIGRAT.ZIP file will be copied into the
destination directory. Included with the migration files is
documentation to assist you in doing the migration. The
documentation is organized by chapter and is in ascii text. The
documentation is in the file MANUALTX.ZIP. The documentation is
also available in default postscript format and must be
downloaded separately. The file name is MIGMAN.ZIP.
