Migrating users and trustees (eDirectory service)

srinivaskv
I am migrating Novell OES from one Novell server to another Novell server (which i will be eventually using as Novell file server because it has bigger hard disk) using the miggui (novell migration tools) on the target server. In the Add services to migrate, it only shows file service and iprint. eDirectory service is not shown, so I am not able to migrate users and trustees. How to migrate trustees and users?

    You're looking for "transfer ID" in Miggui. eDirectory is not a service.

    few questions:
    1. wouldn't transfer id rename the target and change it's ip address to that of source and shutdown the source server. I do not want it this way.
    I would like to create a replica. so I only want to transfer users and trustees. I used to be able to do this with mls, maptrustees, migtrustees command, but now it does not seem to work.
    2. does transfer id require the target server be clean that is no volumes or volume data?

    I guess one of us is confused. Users and trustees aren't server centric,
    you have a directory there. When you use miggui or any other proper tool
    to transfer files from one server to another *IN THE SAME EDIRECTORY
    TREE*, trustees will copy over too. Users do not even exist on
    individual servers, they exist in your directory, you can not and need
    not transfer those.

    Hi,

    Another question along the same lines-i have 2 servers (primary and secondary). When I create a new user in edirectory it does not show in the 2nd server's edirectory (which I access by iManager to the 2nd server). This used to work before but it does not seem to sync now. Sometime takes a long time sometime never at all.
