Resolve Errors

If there were errors discovered in the verification attempt, they will be shown in the Error Resolution dialog box. Errors could include name conflicts, insufficient rights, required name spaces not loaded, and insufficient disk space.

Errors found during the verification process are classified as follows:

Errors must be resolved before files can be copied.

Errors should be resolved but might not affect the copy process.

In addition, the Error Resolution dialog box might display informational text classified as follows:

Information about the decisions you made in the Project Window.

A description of the error and a possible resolution appears in the Information text box. If no resolution is provided, you can find more information in the Novell Error Codes Help system. (Search the system by error code number.)

After resolving any errors that exist, click Next. If there were no errors, warnings, or informational text to display, and if you are moving objects from one tree to another, the Tree-to-Tree Object Match Up dialog box now displays. If you are not moving objects between trees, proceed to Start the Consolidation .

Match Up Tree Objects

All trustees of copied data that appear in both the source and destination trees are displayed in the Tree-to-Tree Object Match Up dialog box based on their category. These trustees are discovered during the Check for Trustees and Ownership step on page 23.

This screen allows you to match the trustees found in the destination server with trustees from the source server. If an appropriate match does not exist, you can create a user on the destination server that matches the trustee on the source server. You can also browse to an existing user in the destination tree and match it up with the source server trustee.

IMPORTANT:  If you are consolidating to an Nterprise^TM Branch Office^TM Appliance, see Server Consolidation Utility and Novell Nterprise Branch Office now.

   1. (Conditional) If you selected more than one object, right-click on the selected objects and then click Create All Selected Objects.

   2. (Optional) If you want to create objects for all of the selected objects, click the Yes radio button.

   3. To select the container that the objects will be created in, click Browse.

   4. Click OK.

   5. To unmatch more than one object, select the desired objects, right-click the objects, and then click Unmatch All Selected Objects.

3. From the drop-down menu under the Destination Object heading, select the option you want:

   • The object in the destination tree that has the same name as the object in the source tree
   • Don't match (object doesn't exist in the destination tree)
   • Browse
   • Create

4. (Conditional) If you selected Browse in Step 3, do the following in the Context Browser dialog box:

   1. Select a matching object.

   2. Click OK.

5. (Conditional) If you selected Create in Step 3, do the following in the Object Creation dialog box:

   1. To browse to the container that the new object will be created in, click Browse.

   2. Select the container.

   3. Click OK.

   4. Type the new object's name in the field provided, then click OK.

   5. Repeat Step 5.d for each object you want to create.

   NOTE:  When the Server Consolidation Utility creates a new user, it assigns a random password to that user. The username and the randomly assigned password are written to the success log. This log file can be viewed after the consolidation completes.

   The Server Consolidation Utility allows the user to create groups if they don't already exist in the destination tree and it adds the users that are members of the source group to the new destination group. However, it does not modify an existing group. If you use the utility to create a group in the destination tree and then add additional members to the source tree's group, those added members are not added to the destination group. Also, if you choose to create the groups manually (on the destination) rather than using the Server Consolidation Utility, and then you attempt to match up the groups during the consolidation, the group members are not transferred.

6. When you have finished matching all the objects, click Next.

7. (Conditional) If you have unmatched objects, do one of the following in the Unmatched Objects dialog box that displays:

   • To proceed without matching the objects, click Yes.
   • To go back and match up the objects before continuing, click No.

The Default Server and Home Directory for Created Users dialog box now displays.

Default Server and Home Directory for Created Users

In the Default Server and Home Directory for Created Users dialog box, you have the option to assign a default server for all created users. The default server is the server the user gets a connection to during login if the user doesn't request a connection to a specific server. It's also the server used if the user makes a network request without naming the server, and it's the server the user still has an attachment to after logging out.

You can also assign a parent directory for any created user's home directory. A home directory is an optional, single-valued property that specifies the location (volume and path) and name for the user's working area on the server.

1. (Conditional) If you want to assign a default server for all created users, click the first Browse button.

2. Select a server from the tree.

3. Click OK.

4. (Conditional) If you want to assign a parent directory for any created user's home directory, click the second Browse button.

5. Select a directory from the tree.

6. Click OK > Next.
