You can migrate GroupWise 7, 8, and 2012 components. You must use the version of GroupWise software that matches the version of GroupWise that is already installed. You cannot use the Server Migration Utility to update domains and post offices from an earlier version of GroupWise during the migration process.
The Server Migration Utility needs access to a GroupWise for Linux DVD or software distribution directory, such as a Support Pack. The Server Migration Utility then copies the agent and utility RPMs (Linux installation programs) that it needs for the migration into a temporary location on the Linux server. The default is /tmp/groupwise/software. Having the RPMs on the Linux server enables the Server Migration Utility to run the RPMs as root through the ssh connection. After the migration is complete, the Server Migration Utility can delete the RPMs to conserve disk space on your Linux server.

Under Item 7: Software Locations, specify the root directory of a GroupWise for Linux DVD or software distribution directory, the full path to the location where you want to store RPMs during the migration, and whether you want to delete the RPMs after migration. |
NOTE:A GroupWise software distribution directory on a NetWare or Windows server does not contain GroupWise Linux software unless you have placed it there from a GroupWise for Linux DVD or software distribution directory.
