Hi All,
I have 3 NW 4.11 servers in the same tree. 1 for main file and print, 1 for GW5.2 email and 1 running Border manager 2.1.
I need to upgrade the file and print NW4.11 server to NW 6 and move it on to a new IBM X235 box.
The original NW4.11 box does not meet requirements for an in place upgrade.
How reliable/succesful is Novell's NetWare Migration Wizard 6 when migrating from 4.11 to 6 in one step.
If it is a reliable method what issues are there, pre and post migration, with the 2 remaining NW4.11 boxes co-existing in the same tree as the newly migrated NW6 box? I obviously cannot have a loss of email service etc.
Do I need to update anything and/or extend schema etc on the remaining 4.11 boxes to achieve this integration? All my 4.11 boxes are running SP9, DS 6.21 and dsrepair 4.73a which, as I understand, it should allow them to co-exist with NW6.
Any help and advice appreciatted please as I need to do this upgrade urgently.
Regards
Ben
