6.7 The Migration

6.8 Description of the Example Domain

Domain D01 will be migrated. It is illustrated in Figure 106. The simplicity of the configuration was selected for illustrative purposes.

The domain consists of the four servers. Server \\DC01 is the Primary Domain Controller (PDC). It is running OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 and is used solely as a domain controller. No additional network resources are defined.

We understand that many environments double-up role and function. For example, some users' home directories can be implemented on the domain controller in order to avoid problems with DCDB replication and access controls (this is not a recommendation, but has resolved problems in some cases).

Server \\DC02 is the Backup Domain Controller (BDC). It is running OS/2 LAN Server, Version 4. Similar to the PDC, it provides a dedicated backup domain controller function only. No additional network resources are defined.

Server \\FS01 is the File Server. Similar to the PDC, it is running OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4. It acts purely as a file server. As such, it has 50GB of 386 HPFS volume configured to use RAID Level 5. In addition, DASD limits have been implemented. All of the domain's file system shares and users' home directories are defined on this server.

Lastly, server \\PS01 is the Print Server. Similar to the BDC it is running OS/2 LAN Server, Version 4. It too provides a dedicated print server function. It has multiple ports defined with multiple queues and different types of printers attached.

The current corrective service (CSD) levels of the File and Print Sharing components are summarized in the table below.

Note

These software levels are provided for example only. They represent neither recommendations nor requirements for software levels when migrating to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. If guidance is required in selecting pre-requisite fixpak CSD levels, please refer to Section 3.2 Verify FixPak Prerequisites.

This chapter steps through the process required to complete the migration to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business successfully. The result is a fully functional domain with all servers migrated.

Hardware Notice

This scenario requires an extra system for the migration. If, for reasons such as disk re-partitioning, it is necessary to perform such a migration in order to free up a given server, and a system is not available for this within your existing environment, consider temporarily borrowing a system from a dealer. After the migration, which for these kind of scenarios must take place in two parts, the loaned system can be returned.
