The document discusses migrating a Novell Open Enterprise Server from NetWare to Linux using Novell's migration tool. It provides an agenda for a lab demonstrating the migration, including an overview of the lab scenario, migration options, prerequisites for a successful consolidation, and steps for preparing, building the target server, and managing services on Open Enterprise Server Linux.

21. SYS and DATA NSS volumes

22. Several Novell ® products running on this server FTP

23. iPrint

24. NetStorage

25. QuickFinder

26. DNS/DHCP

27. Novell Storage Services ™ and eDirectory ™ (of course!)

28. Lab Scenario FS1 NetWare ® 6.5 SP8 eDirectory ™ 8.7 172.16.1.1 FS2 Open Enterprise Server 2 SP2 eDirectory 8.8 172.16.1.2

29. Migration Options

30. Migration Options Migration Tool Transfer ID process – one to one server “swap”

31. Consolidation – many to one server

32. GUI console with step by step guide

33. Installed with Open Enterprise Server 2 SP2, no separate download required

34. Step by step process, with rollback possible in case of failure Other tools ? Command line tools, JRBUtils, scripted installations

35. SCMT only supports NetWare ® /NT/2000/2003 to NetWare

36. Migration Options Migration Tool This lab concentrates on the lab tool, using the “Transfer ID” process

37. GUI makes the process easy to follow, with options to re-do steps, should they fail

38. Tool is run from the target (Open Enterprise Server 2) server console Lab assumptions Familiarity with Novell ® core Open Enterprise Server product stack (iPrint, Novell Storage Services ™ etc)

39. Basic knowledge of Linux (GNOME desktop) Directory structure (/var /opt /etc)

40. Familiarity with the Open Enterprise Server 2 installation process

41. Tenets of a Successful Consolidation

42. Tenets of a Successful Consolidation Step 1: Prepare Your Environment

43. Step 2: Plan Your Migrations

44. Step 3: Create a Server Build Process

45. Step 4: The First Server

46. Step 5: All Other Servers

47. Step 6: Cleanup and Decommission

48. Step 1: Prepare Your Environment All servers should be running a supported OS NetWare ® 5.1 sp8, or NetWare 6.5 sp7/8, or Open Enterprise Server Linux 1 sp1 Novell ® eDirectory ™ should be 8.7.3.9+ or 8.8+ on ALL servers

49. Verify all software in use is compatible with eDirectory 8.8 Novell ZENworks ® 2.x, Identity Manager 3.x, no IPX, etc. Perform a complete eDirectory health check

50. Review your Time Synchronisation, check all Servers

51. Are all Network Printers at least NDPS or iPrint connected

52. Clean up stale login scripts

53. Delete stale data

54. Test your Backup Software on the target platform To be able to restore after the migration

55. Step 2: Plan Your Migrations Setup a consolidation plan Map source Servers / Services to Target (4:1 average consolidation)

56. Consolidate SLP, LDAP, and replica servers Create a sequence for servers and services Certificate authority and LDAP should be first to move

57. Start with utility servers that have redundancy (replica, ldap, etc.)

58. Move smaller work group server next as a pilot

59. SLP DA services should be last to move

60. Finish with critical file and print servers

61. Step 2: Plan Your Migrations (continued) End User – Changes on the Client Side Login scripts Server names likely changed if consolidating

62. Volume names and paths likely changed if consolidating

63. Export all current login scripts to text files for review

64. Change of Home-Dir
