SYS volume failst to migrate

ERROR:  - An error occurred migrating the files. --- Error caused by a NetWare API error --- Network error: Volume invalid (Error code: 0X8998 Function Name: NWGetVolumeNumber)

fix

The migration wizard, by default, backs up SYS:\ on the source server to SYS:\SYS.MIG on the destination server.  However, by default the wizard expects the SYS volume object to be in the same OU (organizational unit) as the server object.  Move it to the same container.
