Step 6:  Determine Migration Options 

The migration utility, MIGRATE, allows you to do a full migration which
migrates all volumes and the bindery files at once, or a partial
migration which migrates a single volume at a time You must migrate the
system (SYS or SYSVOL) volume first.  Figure 5-1  shows the menu
options for the migration utility.

In addition, you can modify migration options using command line options,
or using the Menu options (before selecting a full or partial migration).

When to Use Full Migration 

If you only have one NetWare volume, use full migration.

When to Use Partial Migration 

If you have multiple volumes, and want to migrate them one at a time use
partial migration.  If you decide not to migrate a particular volume of
data, use partial migration.
