8.5 Modifying Configuration Information in ConsoleOne

IMPORTANT:Do not proceed with the following steps unless you are ready to stop the original domain agents on the source server for the last time.

  1. Start ConsoleOne on Windows.

  2. Connect to the source domain.

  3. Perform the following modifications: to GroupWise objects:

8.5.1 Reconfiguring the Internet Agent

If the domain has a GWIA:

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the GWIA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux, then click Apply.

  4. Click GroupWise > Network Address.

  5. In the TCP/IP Address field, specify the IP address of the destination Linux server, then click Apply.

  6. Click GroupWise > Log Settings.

  7. Make sure that the Log File Path field is empty so that the Linux GWIA creates its log files in the default location (/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.gwia) on the Linux server.

  8. Click OK to save the configuration information for the Linux GWIA.

  9. (Conditional) If the domain has a WebAccess Agent, continue with Reconfiguring the WebAccess Agent

    or

    Skip to Section 8.5.3, Reconfiguring SSL Settings.

8.5.2 Reconfiguring the WebAccess Agent

NOTE:The WebAccess Agent is not part of GroupWise 2012, but is part of earlier GroupWise versions.

If the domain has a WebAccess Agent:

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the WebAccess Agent object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux, then click Apply.

  4. Click GroupWise > Network Address.

  5. In the TCP/IP Address field, specify the IP address of the destination Linux server, then click Apply.

  6. Click GroupWise > Log Settings.

  7. Make sure that the Log File Path field is empty so that the Linux WebAccess Agent creates its log files in the default location (/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.webac70a) on the Linux server.

  8. Click OK to save the configuration information for the Linux WebAccess Agent.

    The Server Migration Utility migrates the WebAccess Agent but not the WebAccess Application that is installed with your Web server. If you want to use a Linux Web server with WebAccess, you can follow the instructions in Section 14.2, Manually Migrating the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications to Linux after you have finished migrating the domain.

  9. Continue with Reconfiguring SSL Settings.

8.5.3 Reconfiguring SSL Settings

If you have not already followed the general instructions in Section 4.6, Handling SSL Certificate and Key Files:

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > SSL Settings.

  3. In the Certificate file field, change the path to the location of the certificate file on the destination Linux server. For example:

    /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/certificate_file_name.crt

  4. In the SSL key file field, change the path to the location of the SSL key file on the destination Linux server. For example:

    /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/key_file_name.key

  5. Click OK to save the changes.

  6. Continue with Reconfiguring the MTA.

8.5.4 Reconfiguring the MTA

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the Platform field, select Linux, then click Apply.

  4. Click GroupWise > Log Settings.

  5. Make sure that the Log File Path field is empty so that the Linux MTA creates its log files in the default location (/var/log/novell/groupwise/domain_name.mta) on the Linux server.

  6. Click OK to save the configuration information for the Linux MTA.

  7. Continue with Section 8.5.5, Reconfiguring the Domain.

8.5.5 Reconfiguring the Domain

  1. Browse to and right-click the Domain object, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Identification.

  3. In the UNC Path field, change the path to the location on the destination Linux server where you copied the domain. For example:

    \\linuxsvr3\gwsystem\provo1

    For a Linux server, ConsoleOne interprets the UNC path as a Linux path. Do not put a Linux path with front slashes in the UNC Path field, because backslashes are expected.

  4. Click OK to save the new Linux path information for the domain.

  5. Continue with Updating the IP Address of the MTA.

8.5.6 Updating the IP Address of the MTA

Updating the MTA IP address information must be the last configuration change you make in ConsoleOne. After you change the MTA IP address, the MTA can no longer communicate with other GroupWise agents because it is no longer using the IP address that the other GroupWise agents are configured to expect.

NOTE:Unlike the MTA, the IP address for the GWIA and the WebAccess Agent must be updated before you reconfigure the domain, because you cannot access objects properties for the GWIA and the WebAccess Agent after you reconfigure the domain.

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object for the domain, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Network Address.

  3. In the TCP/IP Address field, specify the IP address of the destination Linux server.

  4. Click OK to save the new IP address for the MTA.

  5. Continue with Verifying the Domain Configuration Changes.

8.5.7 Verifying the Domain Configuration Changes

When the configuration changes have been replicated, the link from the MTA to other MTAs in your GroupWise system reflects the Linux location. You can see this in ConsoleOne and at the MTA Web console.

Using ConsoleOne

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object for the domain you are migrating, then click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Link Configuration.

  2. In the Inbound Links box, double-click a domain that links to the domain you are migrating.

    The IP Address field should display the new Linux IP address for the domain you are migrating.

  3. Click Cancel, then click File > Exit to exit the Link Configuration utility.

  4. Skip to Stopping the Original Domain Agents on the Source Server.

Using the MTA Web Console

  1. Display the MTA Web console for the original MTA.

    http://source_server_address:port_number

    For more information about the MTA Web console, see the following section in the GroupWise Administration Guide for your version of GroupWise:

  2. Click Links to check the status of the links between the original MTA on the source server and other domains and post offices in your GroupWise system.

    The links should display Closed because the MTA is now configured to communicate on a new IP address.

  3. Continue with Stopping the Original Domain Agents on the Source Server.
