Step 7:  Run the Migration Utility 

After reviewing migration options, you are ready to run the migrate
utility.  Follow the instructions for Full or Partial migration below.


CAUTION Once migration starts, it cannot be stopped. If you have a large NetWare file system, allow sufficient time for it to complete.
Run Migration Tool: Full 1. Log into your MPE system: :hello manager.sys,netware 2. Make sure NetWare has been stopped: :nw status 3. Run the migration utility: a. Enter any options you have chosen on the command line: :migrate "option1 option2" b. Or, enter :migrate (no options) c. From the Main menu, select: Table 5-6. --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | 3. | Migration Utilities | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | 1. | Options. | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- Adjust the options, return to the Main menu (type r). 4. From the Main menu, select option 1 for Full Migration. 5. At the prompt, type y (for yes) to proceed with full migration. _________________________________________________________________ NOTE If you have a large NetWare file system, be prepared to allow time for the migration to complete.... _________________________________________________________________ 6. When migration completes, the Main Menu is displayed. Type e to exit. A list of the volumes migrated is displayed to the screen and output to the file volinfo.netware.sys. If you have only one NetWare volume (SYS), you can proceed to Step 9. Reconfigure Host Printers . 7. If your file system contains more than one NetWare volume, Print out a copy of the volinfo.netware.sys file. Volume SYS is automatically configured. You must use SCONSOLE to add the additional volumes to the new bindery. Go to the heading labeled Step 8: Add Volumes, to complete the migration process. During Migration:. What happens during migration: * The tool calculates how much disk space the migration requires. If disk space is low, it sets the purge flag to delete the old files once they have been migrated to the new file system. See the -n option in Table 5-4 if you want to keep the old files on the system. If your system does not have enough disk space, the migration tool exits with the message: Unable to open filename. (There is not enough space to create any new files.) Free up disk space on your system before rerunning the migration tool. * The trustee files and bindery files are migrated. (bindery files: net$obj.sys, net$prop.sys, net$val.sys and spool.sys) Then, the first volume migrated is the system volume (usually named SYS). * Next, the tool migrates each volume in turn until complete. Run Migration Tool: Partial 1. Log into your MPE system: :hello manager.sys,netware 2. Make sure NetWare has been stopped. (Use nw status to verify.) 3. Run the migration utility: a. Enter any options you have chosen on the command line: :migrate "-option1 -option2" b. Or, enter: migrate (no options) c. From the Main menu, select: Table 5-7. --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | 3. | Migration Utilities | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | 1. | Options. | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- d. Adjust the options, return to the Main menu (type r). 4. From the Main menu, select option 2 for Partial Migration. 5. At the prompt, type y (yes) to proceed with Partial Migration. 6. The volumes you can migrate are listed by number. The first volume you must migrate is SYS. 7. Enter the number listed next to SYS. You do not have to enter the path for SYS. It is automatically migrated to: /usr/netware/sys For Each Additional Volume: After the SYS volume has been migrated, you can migrate your other NetWare volumes. The volumes are listed by number. 1. Enter the number listed for the next volume you want to migrate. 2. A default path is provided. Type y to accept the default path, or n to enter a different path. The path names must be specified in POSIX format (case sensitive). 3. After you have finished migrating volumes, type e to exit. 4. A list of the volumes migrated is displayed to the screen and output to the file volinfo.netware.sys. 5. Print out a copy of the file. Volume SYS is automatically configured. You must use SCONSOLE to add the additional volumes to the new bindery. Go to the next section, labeled Step 8. Add Volumes, to complete the migration process.
