11.1 Understanding Transfer ID GUI

The Transfer ID GUI runs a series of tasks for transferring the server identity of the source server to the target server. The identity of the server is made up of its IP address, hostname and the eDirectory DIB information from the source server.

On successful completion of the Transfer ID migration, the target server functions with the identity of the source server and source server goes offline

The interface is divided into a left pane and right pane, and each task is associated with an icon that represents the status of the task.

11.1.1 Left Pane

The left pane lists a series of tasks to be completed for successful completion of Transfer ID. Each task is associated with an icon.
