fact

Novell NetWare 4.11

Novell NetWare 5.1

symptom

Loss of file system trustees following migration to eDirectory 8.

File system trustees are listed as unknown.

Error in SYS:SYSTEM\DSMISC.LOG: "Skipping volume <volume name> because it was previously migrated"

change

Inplace upgrade from NetWare 4.11 to NetWare 5.1.

Migration from NDS 6 to eDirectory 8.

cause

If a server does not have a local entryID for the SERVERNAME_VOLUME object at the time the migration is performed then the volume is skipped by the migration and trustees are not transferred.

fix

To confirm prior to migration use DSVIEW.NLM or DSBROWSE.NLM on the server to be migrated to search for the volume objects. If it is found that they are not held locally then:
" DSREPAIR.NLM > Advanced Options > Check Volume Objects and Trustees " must be performed.

If the volume was skipped it may be confirmed that the volume object was not originally present in the database by reviewing the SYS:_NETWARE\*.__D files. To recover trustee assignments after the migration it will be necessary to perform "Check Volume Objects and Trustees" to purge the invalid trustees and then recover the file system trustees from backup. If no backup was taken then the file system trustee rights must be re-established following "Check Volume Objects and Trustees".
