To help with migrating to new hardware (with or without version upgrade), Novell has a tool called the "Migration Wizardâ€Â. The version is now actually called the "Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit†aka SCMT and includes both the Migration and the Consolidation tool in one tool. This document however will mainly concentrate on Server migrations, even though all tuning recommendations are also good for server consolidations. I will continue to call it the Migration Wizard for simplicity, especially since in certain cases; you may need to use an older version from before the name change.
Generally, the Migration Wizard works quite well. However without proper tuning, migrations can be slow, and also, if something goes wrong, the person doing the migration can feel quite lost. So the purpose of this document is to give recommendations on tuning the server configurations so as to speed up the migration and reduce the risk of problems and also, this document will propose a number of extra safety steps that will make it easier for you to recover from failed migrations.
Don't be scared by reading this document. The document deals with a lot of smaller or bigger things that could go wrong. This doesn't mean that you will see all these problems. It just mentions the problems that you could potentially face and how to prevent them or deal with them.
|Tip! This document also applies to migrations from physical to virtual servers. If you plan to move a physical server to a virtual server under VMware, just follow the instructions on moving a server to new hardware.
Choosing the right migration tool
Migration Wizard 8.2
The latest tool is the Migration Wizard 8.2.709.14 which is part of SCMT 1.2.070914 and is dated 14 September 2007. IT is the version included in SP7 for NetWare 6.5, the SP7 overlay CDs or DVD for NetWare 6.5 as well as OES2. This version is also available for download at http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=bibbruEYmPc~
It is important that you have the correct subversion as it fixes bugs found in earlier versions of the 8.x Migration Wizards. So don't use any versions from older NetWare 6.5 installation CDs.
The documentation for this version can be found at http://www.novell.com/documentation/scmt/index.html This version supports migrations from NetWare 4.11 or later to NetWare 6.0 or 6.5 (including OES/NetWare and OES2/NetWare).
Migration Wizard 6.5
If your destination server for your migration is NetWare 5.1, then you need to use the Migration Wizard 6.5 instead. The latest version is 6.5.502.7 and can be found at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/17244.html
Once again, it is important that you use this version and not earlier 6.5 versions, especially since older 6.5 versions were not compatible with XP SP2. The documentation for this version can be found at http://www.novell.com/documentation/migwiz65/index.html
While this version also supports migration to NetWare 6.x, it is recommended to use version 8.1 when NetWare 6.x servers are involved.
Preparing the migration
Stuff you need
- source server
- destination server. Make sure your destination server is compatible with the NetWare version you want to install and that you have the required drivers
- (recommended but not required) a small fast switch and patch cables to directly interconnect your 2 servers and your migration workstation
- a reliable workstation running Windows 2000 or Windows XP with the latest patches and a relatively up to date client (4.91 SP2 or later). Don't rely on an "unknown†workstation for your migration.
- disable screen saver and power save mode if laptop.
- NetWare installation CDs. Use the latest overlay versions that already include the latest support pack
- The appropriate Migration Wizard (see versions in the previous section)
- The latest TRUSTEE.NLM available from http://ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.novell.com/netwire/nsd/trust110f.exe
- (always useful) TOOLBOX.NLM 2.17 available at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13950.html
- a floppy drive cleaning kit in case you are using the Migration wizard 6.5
- a paper printout or a downloaded version of all the migration documentation so that you can look it up at any time
- an Internet connection to get additional information in case you get stuck somewhere
Preparing yourself
The first thing to do before starting a migration is to thoroughly read the documentation involved. This involves reading at least the 3 following documents:
- this document
- the documentation for the Migration Wizard. See the section above for the links to the correct documentation
- in case your migration is an upgrade, read the install/upgrade documentation for the destination NetWare version.
|Tip! If your destination server is a NetWare 6.5 server, you should read the OES documentation at http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes/index.html and not the NetWare 6.5 documentation which is outdated.
Prepare your NDS tree
This can already be done a couple of days in advance so that you don't have a surprise the day of the migration. However if you do this before, recheck your server's NDS health the day of the migration.
Tree health
It is important that your tree is healthy, especially the server you want to migrate. Time should be in sync, there should be no communication problems with any remote server and there should be no pending obituaries. Solve all your NDS problems before proceeding.
Server certificates
If your source server is running NetWare 5.1 or later, make sure it doesn't have any expired certificates. Run PKIDIAG.NLM to verify and fix your certificates. This is especially important if you are migrating to NetWare 6.x where a lot of services depend on valid certificates and will fail on expired certificates. While certificates can also be fixed after the migration, it may be a good idea to already eliminate this potential problem before the migration.
Special NDS preparation (upgrade to NetWare 6.x)
If your migration is not a same server migration but an upgrade from a NetWare 5.1 or lower to NetWare 6.x, then special care must be takes to ensure your tree is ready. You should make sure you meet the minimum NDS version requirements for all servers in your tree and you should use the deployment manager to prepare your tree (see the installation manual for your destination NetWare version for details). For a smoothest possible migration from 5.1 to 6.5, I would recommend that your root servers for your tree are already running eDirectory 8.7.3.x (this requires NetWare 5.1 or later). For migrations from 6.0 to 6.5, the eDirectory version inluded with NetWare 6.0 SP5 is good enough for the migration, but if you are going to keep around some 6.0 servers for longer, you should upgrade them to eDirectory 8.7.3. For upgrading to eDirectory 8.7.3, use the file edir_873_ir3_nw.iso which can be found at http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=NUBsf-ZwOaE~
Preinstall your licenses (upgrade to NetWare 6.x)
If your migration is an upgrade to NetWare 6.x, I would recommend you do already install your NetWare 6.x licenses into your tree prior to the upgrade. This makes things easier later on. Use NWADMN32.EXE to install the licenses in the container of the server to be migrated or in a container somewhere above it. The normal documentation would only tell you to install the connection licenses after the install/upgrade, but doing it before makes things easier as your server would already be fully licensed after the first reboot after the NDS migration.
Normalize and repair volume objects
The Migration Wiazard assumes standard names and location for the NDS volume objects. It will fail on non standard names. Make sure the NDS objects for your volume names have their standard names (e.g. servername_volumename) and are located in the same container as your server object. If for some reason, you are not using the default names or location, then move and rename your volume objects to the standard convention before the migration. After the migration, you can once again rename them to whatever suits you. Also, run DSREPAIR and using the advanced options, do a volume and trustee repair.
Preparing the source server
It is important for the reliability and the speed of the migration that the source server is updated and tuned for the migration.
Patch your server
Install the latest support pack on the source server (NW50SP6a, NW51SP8, NW60SP5) as well as any other patches recommended by the Migration Wizard documentation. If you plan to use the Migration Wizard 6.5, also install the latest TSA patch on your 5.x servers. For NetWare 5.0, the NSS patch NSS5H.EXE mentioned by the migration wizard is only needed if your server has any NSS volumes. The file containing the NICI 1.5.7 update is called 'NICID157.EXE'. Both these 2 files are no longer available on Novell's download web site.
|Tip! Patches which are no longer on Novell's web site can still be found at http://ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.novell.com/updates/
Tune the SET parameters
For this, quit MONITOR if it is already loaded, and then load MONITOR with the command:
LOAD MONITOR !h
The option !h makes hidden SET parameters visible and this is important for the communication parameters. Now select the option "Server Parameters†and make the following changes in the following sections:
TCP Minshall Algorithm On (doesn't exist in NetWare 5.0) TCP Nagle Algorithm On (Off for NetWare 5.0) TCP Delayed Acknowledgement On (Off for NetWare 5.0)
Directory caching - only for TFS volumes (special extreme tuning just for migration)
Directory Cache Allocation Wait Time 0.1 Sec Directory Cache Buffer NonReferenced Delay 600 Sec Maximum Directory Cache Buffers 20000 (possibly less if your server does not have much RAM) Minimum Directory Cache Buffers 1500
Enable Hardware Write Back On Enable Disk Read After Write Verify Off
File caching
Dirty Disk Cache Delay Time 0.1 Sec
File system - only for TFS volumes
Purge Files On Dismount On (a quick way to purge deleted files on shutdown)
Clean up AUTOEXEC.NCF
Clean up the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF to comment out all extra services. Especially disable any backup, open file manager and antivirus software as well as java applications, NDPS/iPrint and any server application that keeps files open. Also, make sure that SMDR.NLM and TSAxxx.NLM are not loaded from AUTOEXEC.NCF as the Migration Wizard will install newer versions and load them automatically.
Clean up your file system
Delete all unneeded files and directories to avoid unnecessarily copying unneeded stuff. Above all, delete support pack source directories, the BACKSPx directories in SYS:SYSTEM, old obsolete clients in SYS:PUBLIC\CLIENTS and old documentation directories (possible leftovers from NetWare 4.x).
Reboot your server
This will make sure that your server will just run in a minimum configuration which is best for the migration. If you don't reboot your server but just stop the services manually, the server could potentially abend when the migration starts. This may especially if your server has been running for a long time and you have run regular backups. In this case, the server will abend when the migration wizard tries to unload the TSAs and SMDR.NLM.
Backup your trustees
Copy TRUSTEE.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory of your server and then individually make trustee backup copies for each volume using the following command:
LOAD TRUSTEE /R volumename: SAVE volumename: volumename:trustee.dat
where of course you replace volumename by the real name of the volume. Include the SYS volume as well. The trustee backup is important in case the last step of the migration (trustee restore) fails. The /R option ensures the trustee backup uses relative directory names. This allows you to restore trustees even if the volume names or directory structures on the destination server change.
Update HOSTS file
Edit the file HOSTS in SYS:ETC and add an entry with the temporary name and IP address of the destination server. This will ensure that the file copy will not suffer from possible name resolution problems during the migration.
Backup your NDS
h) Take an NDS database dump using the following command:
LOAD DSREPAIR –rc
Note: You will not be able to use these NDS dump yourself. However in case things go badly wrong and you need Novell's help, they will be able to use your NDS dump file to restore the NDS on your server.
Verify your XNTP configuration (NetWare 6.5 only)
If you have a NetWare 6.5 server and you are using XNTP.NLM instead of TIMESYNC.NLM, then verify that NCP is not disabled for XNTP. In other words, the file SYS:\ETC\NTP.CONF should not contain the option. NONCP.
Preparing the destination server
Verify your BIOS configuration
Go into the server's BIOS and make sure you set the clock correctly and you disable hyperthreading if this is a server with hyperthreading support (Pentium 4 / Xeon class servers)
Install your NetWare
Do the installation from the latest overlay CDs. This is especially important if you use quite new hardware. Make sure you use the same code page and country code as your source server or else files with special characters in their names may cause problems during the migration. Make sure you install your server as a "pre migration†server and you don't install any additional products. The "pre migration†option is available early in the text part of the install for NetWare 5.1 and 6.0 and in the GUI part of the install for NetWare 6.5 OES/NetWare. Make sure you install the server with a temporary name in a temporary tree of its own. Name, tree name and IP address of the server must be different from the source server you want to migrate.
Create your volumes to match the volumes you want to migrate from the source server. However if your destination volumes are NSS volumes on NetWare 6.x servers, do not yet enable user or directory quotas on the volumes. Otherwise, the Migration Wizard may run out of space when copying compressed files and will create zero byte files. If quotas were ued on the source server, the migration wizard will automatically enable quotas on the destination server in step 4 of the migration.
Make sure you do install a license on the destination server, but you can use the demo license found on the NetWare installation CD. Just point the installation program to the LICENSE directory of the installation CD when the install asks you about the license. It is not needed to install your real licenses as whatever you license you install will be lost anyway after the NDS migration.
If you plan to install additional products like Groupwise, ZENworks, Antivirus, Backup, wait till after the migration until you install them.
Warning: If your destination server is a NetWare 6.5 SP6 server, don't install IPX on the destination server. There is a bug in SP6 that causes the SMS components (SMDR, TSAxxx) to fail communicating if IPX is installed, even when IPX is not used. If you need IPX on the destination server, only install it after the migration. If you are migrating from NetWare 4.x to 6.5, install NetWare 6.5 SP5 on the destination server and not SP6. While not confirmed, the bug probably also exists in SP7.
Verify your eDirectory version
You should make sure that the destination server does not ever have an eDirectory version lower than the source server. This is especially the case if the source server is a 5.1 or 6.0 server where the eDirectory was upgraded at some point and the destination is also NetWare 5.1 or 6.0. Also pay attention to the following fundamental incompatibilities:
- the destination server should not be running eDirectory 8.6.x. There is a problem with this eDirectory version that can cause the Migration Wizard to fail during the NDS migration. So, if the destination server is a NetWare 6.0 server, make sure you upgrade it to eDirectory 8.7.3.
- if you plan to migrate to eDirectory 8.8.x, then your destination server must be running eDirectory 8.8.2 (or 8.8SP2) and you must be using the Migration Wizard 8.2. Earlier versions of eDirectory 8.8.x will cause the migration to fail and earlier versions of the Migration Wizard will not support eDirectory 8.8.x.
- avoid migrating from older eDirectory versions to eDirectory 8.8.x. Such migrations are prone to fail with the problem described in TID3395192 or other problems were the database on the destination server fails to open. If you want to go to eDirectory 8.8.x, then migrate to eDirectory 8.7.3.x and only do the upgrade to eDirectory 8.8.x after the migration is finished.
Clean up your AUTOEXEC.NCF
Only on NetWare 6.5 servers: Aat the end of the installation, when the install asks you to reboot the server, do not click on the button yet, but use ALT-ESC to switch to the console screen and there type "EA†to edit your AUTOEXEC.NCF. In your autoexec.ncf, you can put a REM in front of the following lines: SYS:\SYSTEM\NMA5.NCF (unless you have an SNMP based management platform which you want to use to mange your NetWare server) AFPSTRT.NCF (unless you have Macintosh computers that need to access your server) NFSSTART (unless you have Unix machines that need to access your server through NFS) OPENWBEM.NCF ?STARTX
Then locate the line "MOUNT ALLâ€Â, and add the following line just before it:
NSS /NCPDisplayNonTranslatableNames
In non english speaking countries, this option is important if you have file names with extended characters. The option only exists in NW65SP5 or later.
After having made these changes, switch back to the GUI screen and click the button to reboot your server
Tune the server
Load monitor using the command:
LOAD MONITOR !h
Go to « Server Parameters », and change the options in the following categories
TCP Minshall Algorithm On TCP Nagle Algorithm On TCP Delayed Acknowledgement On
Enable Hardware Write Back On
Client File Caching Enabled Off Level 2 OpLocks Enabled Off
Update the HOSTS file
Edit the file HOSTS in SYS:ETC. Clean it up to remove all sample entries except for localhost and the server itself. Then add an entry with the name and IP address of the source server. This will ensure that the file copy will not suffer from possible name resolution problems during the migration.
Backup the NDS
Make a backup copy of the NDS of the destination server using the command:
LOAD DSREPAIR -rc
Preparing your migration workstation
Make sure the workstation verifies the recommended configuration as mentioned earlier and then install the correct version of the Migration Wizard to the PC. Especially if your PC happens to be a laptop, verify the power options of the PC and make sure that it is configured to never go into sleep mode.
Connecting your servers and your workstation
For reliability reasons, make sure the source server, the destination server and the migration workstation are all connected to a same switch. Personally, I always use a small 5 port gigabit switch to which I connect the 3 computers and which in turn I connect to the remainder of the network. That way, I'm sure I have a reliably and fast migration network. Also, given that the file migration can take some time, I would recommend the 3 computers and the switch to be connected to an UPS so that they can survive a power outage.
The Migration
The migration itself is a 5 step process. There is a first step (which I call 0) at startup, and then the Wizard itself presents a menu with 4 other steps.
Step 0: starting the Migration Wizard and modelling your project
If you installed the SCMT 1.1, then you actually have the main SCMT program which you can start and which will guide you through a number of questions upon which it decides whether you want to do a Migration or Consolidation.
However, you have the option to go straight to the Migration wizard 8.1 by using the following menu sequence:
Start -> All Programs -> Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit -> Tools -> NetWare Migration Wizard 8.1.
For the Migration Wizard 6.5, the situation is simpler. You just have one tool, and it starts you out with the Migration questions right away.
Once you have launched the Migration Wizard, you create a project, and select source and destination servers and you start modelling your project by dragging and dropping volumes or directories from your source server to your destination server. The easiest migration is you do a one to one copy where the destination server has exactly the same volume names as the source server. In that case, there are no adjustments to be done to scripts or configuration files that may refer to volume names. You can however also copy directories or volumes to volumes with different names. This is for example useful if your old server only had a SYS volume with the data on the SYS volume and on your new server you want to keep SYS separate and have a new volume for all your data. In that case, I would recommend you to drag and drop the complete SYS volume to the new destination volume. In case of volume remodelling, extra NDS operations are recommended at step 4 of the migration later on.
Special considerations regarding the SYS volume
If you have the simple case where source and destination server have the same volume names, special care must be taken with the SYS volume. By default, the Migration wizard will create a directory SYS.MIG on the destination SYS volume which will contain the root directory and all the system related directory of the source server. This is done to ensure that you don't overwrite system directories of the new server will old stuff from the old server. If there are additional directories you want to migrate to the destination server while keeping the original location, drag and drop these directories one by one. Avoid blindly copying directories that might conflict with already existing directories on the destination server. For instance, overwriting some system related directories could result is serious malfunction of the destinations server later on.
Print Queues in Special considerations regarding the SYS volume
Special care also needs to be taken of the printing related directories. If you have print queues on your old server, make sure you drag and drop the QUEUES directory from the old SYS to the new SYS volume. For this directory, you will get a conflict warning because the directory QUEUES already exists on the destination server. Resolve this conflict by using the "merge all†option. For NDPS/iPrint, make sure you drop and drop the NDPS directory from the source to the destination server. This time you should not get a conflict because if you followed the instructions, NDPS/iPrint should not yet be installed on the destination server.
Modelling Complete
Once you have finished modelling your project, you click on the "Verify and Migrate†button. After verification that your project is OK, you get the screen with the 4 migration steps numbered 1 to 4.
Step 1: Copy File System Data
Click on button "1†to start the data copy. You will get a number of additional questions regarding your data copy, for instance what to do in case of conflict and whether you want to filter by type or date. This is useful if you run the data copy multiple times. You can indeed rerun step 1 of the migration as many times as you want. In subsequent runs int hat case, it is useful to only copy newer files. You also have the option to copy with users active or with login disabled.
Warning: You should never disable login yourself on the server console during the migration process. This would in fact cause the migration to fail. Only the Migration wizard should be allowed to disable login.
Once you answered all the questions, you will get to the point where the Migration Wizard will install/update NLMs on your source and destination servers and load them. NLMs that are for instance updated are SMDR.NLM and TSAxxx.NLM. If you have old versions of these NLMs loaded and they have been used by a backup program after the last server restart, there is a risk that your source server will abend upon the unloading of the old versions of these NLMs. That's why it is important to follow the instructions on preparing the source server before the migration.
Next, the Migration Wizard will backup the trustee and file ownership information and then it will actually copy the files. The time estimate during the trustee backup just counts for the trustee backup itself. To get an estimate how long the file copy will last, you will have to wait until the copy actually starts and best wait some 15 minutes into the file copy. The copy speed is not constant during the whole file copy. While copying big files, the throughput is high and while copying small files, the overhead is much higher and so the copy speed is lower. Because of this, the estimate can always vary. Apart from that however, the estimate given by the Migration Wizard 8.1 tends to be relatively reliable. The Migration wizard 6.5 however can give very bad estimates when the files on the source server are compressed. In fact, in that case, the file copy can sometimes take twice as long as estimated. Furthermore, the progress indicator continues based on the original estimate. That means you reach 99% of the copy in the estimated time, but the last percent can take very long.
Once the copy has finished, make sure you check the error log to see if any files were missed. You will always see a couple of files that could not be copied because they were open. You need to see yourself which of these files are just temporary system files and which files are important data. Another error you might see is error 0xFFFDFFF4. This is actually not really an error but just indicates that a file was not copied because it has the same date or is older than a file that already exists on the destination. This happens if you run step 1 multiple times and you choose the option "overwrite with newer onlyâ€Â. For performance reasons, if you rerun step 1 just to catch files updated since the first run, include a date filter filtering on the last modified date. This avoids every single file being compared and will greatly reduce the time needed for the delta copy.
Warning: If during the file copy, one of the 3 machines (the 2 servers or the workstation) crashes, reboot the 3 machines before rerunning the file copy or proceeding with the next step. Other, the remaining machines will not properly close the file copy and the next migration step will fail.
Note: Step 1 is mandatory. You have to run it at least once in order to be able to continue your migration. If however you decide to use a different way of copying your data, you can simply do an "empty" run of step 1 where you don't select any data to be copied.
Step 2: Edit Configuration Files
Step 2 is actually a step where the Migration Wizard doesn't do anything. It's a step suggesting you to manually edit some configuration files. I suggest that at this point, you make the following changes:
- Assuming you want the destination server to take the IP address of the original server (which generally you want), it's now the best time to edit your AUTOEXEC.NCF and change the IP address to what it should be later once the destination server has taken over. I suggest not to use INETCFG.NLM yet as this point because editing AUTOEXEC.NCF is easier at this point and you can always use INETCFG.NLM after a successful migration.
- Also change the TIMESYNC configuration so that the destination server will take the time from the same source as the source server. This will ensure that your clocks are in sync and that step 3 of the migration will not complain about unsynchronized clocks later on. Do *not* edit TIMESYNC.CFG as indicated in the documentation, but instead change the TIME settings in MONITOR.NLM. This will automatically update TIMESYNC.CFG for you.
- If you want special SLP options and an SLP.CFG file, it is also now a good to configure them
- If during your migration, you plan to change the volume names, now is the moment you should rename the NDS volume objects for those volumes were the name will change. For instance if you want to migrate the old SYS volume to a new DATA volume, you should rename the volume object SERVER_SYS to SERVER_DATA. Doing this ensures that all NDS references to the volume object (like home directory properties of the users) will follow the name change.
The following things should *not* yet be done as it is too early:
- Do not edit the SYS:\ETC\HOSTS . Step 3 of the migration will make modifications to the HOSTS file. These modifications are generally not what you want if you have changed the server's IP address as indicated above. Therefore, you generally need to modify the file HOSTS after step 3 anyway and so any edit you do now is just wasted time.
- Do not add servers to your AUTOEXEC.NCF. Your destination server is installed in pre-migration mode. As such, most of the required services are not yet installed and putting those services into AUTOEXEC.NCF now will just confuse the installer later on.
Step 3: Begin NDS/eDirectory Migration
Step 3 is the most critical step of the whole migration process. It's during this step that the actual identity of the old server is transferred to the new server and the old server is shut down forever (unless you do a special recover operation explained in the troubleshooting section). So make sure you have resolved all problems from prior steps and you are sure you copied all files you need. After step 3, it becomes much more difficult to still get files from your old server. It is also important that the NDS on the source server is absolutely healthy before this step or else the migration might fail, or existing problems might get worse.
Note: The button for step 3 will only become active if you have at least once run the file copy of step 1.
The actual NDS migration in step 3 consists of 3 major operations:
- The NICI configuration files copy. This is done by floppy disk or by network. For version 6.5 of the Migration Wizard, the floppy disk method is the only method available. In that case, it is important that you have a working floppy drive both on the source and the destination server. Given the source server might have been running for year, dust may have gather in the floppy drive and therefore it is important to clean the drive as otherwise, the migration is likely to fail.
- Next, the configuration files (AUTOEXEC.NCF, HOSTS and a couple of other files) are updated on the destination server to reflect the identity change of the server. This will also udpate the timesync configuration to match the source server.
- Finally, the NDS is backed up on the source server, the source server is downed and the NDS backup file is updated and restored on the destination server.
Warning: If there are users with open files on the source server, it will not down automatically. It will show you the open files and ask you whether you really want to down the server. That question will however be replies negatively by additional commands sent to the server console. So be sure that on the source server, you switch to the main console screen, and if needed, execute the down command manually.
Note: The destination server can take a very long time to reboot. Give it a couple of minutes. Once these steps finished the destination server is also rebooted and step 3 is over.
Step 4: Finish the NDS/eDirectory Migration
Before executing step 4 in the migration wizard itself, you should reboot your migration workstation and also make the following changes on the server:
- Edit the files HOSTS and HOSTNAME in SYS:ETC. This is especially important if you changed the IP address of the destination server in step 2 of the migration. Failing to update HOSTS and HOSTNAME will cause some products installed later to receive incorrect configurations. If you want to use your old HOSTS and HOSTNAME from the source server, you can use TOOLBOX, TBX or any similar tool to copy the files from SYS:\SYS.MIG\ETC to SYS:ETC. Only copy exactly the files your need. Do not do wildcard copies.
- If you did a major NDS upgrade during the migration, you should run the following DSREPAIR options:
LOAD DSREPAIR Advanced Options -> Local Repair -> enable Rebuild operational schema -> press F10
- If the previous DSREPAIR reports schema problems for RBS and tells you to run DSREPAIR at a root server, or if you did an upgrade from NDS7 or older to eDirectory 8.6 or later on a non root server during the migration, then do the following in DSREPAIR:
Advanced Options -> Global Schema operations -> (login) -> Reset Schema
- Repair your volume objects. This will ensure that your volumes on the new server get attached to the old NDS volume objects. For this, do the following in DSREPAIR:
Advanced options -> Check volume objects and trustees
- Run the back-linker process to verify and repair external references. For this, execute the following console commands:
- Verify whether your server acquired its license by typing the following command at the server console:
- Verify and fix your certificates by running PKIDIAG.NLM
Now you are ready to run step 4. Step 4 of the Migration Wizard will restore the trustee, file ownership and quota information.
Note: If for some reason, step 4 fails, you can rerun it as often as you want, and if you followed the instructions on server preparation, you can also use TRUSTEE.NLM to restore your trustee information.
Post Migration tasks
Now we are ready to install any additional products. First install any additional products you need that are included with NetWare, and then install any posisble other software you need (Groupwise, ZENworks, Backup software, Antivirus ...).
NetWare 6.5
For this, you need the NetWare 6.5 Overlay Products CD or the NetWare 6.5 overlay DVD matching the support pack you used to install your destination server.
|Tip! On NetWare 6.5, you can also copy the CD image to the server and mount it using the command:
NSS /MountImageVolume=SYS:NW65PRODSP6.ISO
Now start the GUI environment using the command STARTX and from the Novell menu, select Install. Select the option ADD and browse to the file POSTINST.NI at the root of the installation CD. You will then get a list of products you can install. From this list, install at least the following products even though some of them are already installed. Installing the products again will ensure the appropriate changes are made to the NDS. Ignore the version warnings you may get about some of these products.
- Certficate Server
- NDS iMonitor
- ConsoleOne
If you want to install iManager on your server, you need to install the following additional products:
- Apache2 admin server
- Tomcat admin
- Apache2 web & Tomcat
- iManager
|Tip! If you want iManager to immediately run after the installation without having to reboot your server, execute the following 2 commands *prior* to the installation of Apache2 and Tomcat:
Older NetWare versions
The post install procedure for older NetWare versions is similar to the one above. I just have no list of default products to install for those platforms. Check for wiki articles to see if there are any recommendations for that version at wikiCatagoryLink.

How to recover from a failed migration
The good thing about the Migration Wizard is that the source server can always be placed back into normal operation mode. Therefore, except for a bad hardware failure of the source server, you always have a way to bring the source server back to life. Let's see how to recover at the different steps of the migration.
Step 1 (Data copy)
The data copy is not destructuve to the source and destination servers. Also, step 1 is restartable. So if step 1 fails, you can start it over again and again. One important rule is that with fatal failures during the data copy, often there remain open SMS connections between the servers. These will lead to possible failure of further copy attempts. It is therefore important that in case of a fatal failure during the file copy, you reboot both the source and the destination servers so that they are in a clean state again.
Here are some common problems that may occur at the beginning of or during the file copy:
- Abend of the source or the destination server. Sometimes, you might get an abend right at the beginning of the migration when the Migration Wiuard tries to unload the old SMS modules (SMDR.NLM, TSAxxx.NLM) and load the updated versions. With this kind of abend, it is just enough to restart both source and destination servers and start over again. With other abends you should more closely investigate what the reason for the abend could be. First recheck whether you applied all the recommended patches and did all other other recommended preparation stapes, and if none of these help, the debug your abend the "usual" way by looking at the abend.log file, searching the knowledgebase and askin for help int he support forums or using any other type of support resource.
- Lost workstation connection during the migration. The file copy itself is actually done by NUWAGENT.NLM using a direct SMS connection between the servers. The workstation just monitors the copy process, receives the error messages and sends the instructions on what to do next. If for any reason, your workstation looses connection to the servers while doing the data copy, then the servers will continue with their current job until it is finished, and then they will get stuck waiting for an acknowledgement from the migration workstation. As this acknowledgement never arrives, the copy step never really finishes, and if you try to rerun the copy, you get a bad failuer. Therefore, if for some reson, your workstation lost its connection, it is important to once again reboot both servers after they have finished with the copy they were busy doing.
- SMS errors while starting the data migration or no migration with no errors at all.
- Migration successful but errors in error log for certain files
Step 3 (NDS migration)
A failure during the NDS migration seems to be most scary because after the NDS migration, the source server is no longer operational. However the source server can easily be revived as described her in the documentation. It is important that if you restore the source server that way, you take care of the destination server which might already have taken the name and address of the source server. So you may have to disconnect the destination server from the network (to avoid conflict) and return the destination server to its temporary state.
Step 4 (finish NDS migration/restore rights)
One issue a couple of people may have seen after step 3 is that the Migration Wizard did somehow not correctly record the success of step 3. In that case, step 4 is greyed out and cannot be selected. This is described and a fix is given in TID10100982. It is important to verify that step 3 was really successful and that the destination server has taken the identity of the source server and is already correctly integrated in the tree.
Common error messages and their resolution
%s is a NetWare 5.0 server. Install NICI patch 1.5.7 or newer on this server before proceeding with the migration, or data loss will occur!
If your server is running NDS7, you can safely ignore this message. If your server is running NDs8 or later, you should upgrade yopur server NICI to 1.5.7 as indicated by the error message. See the section about preparing the source server for more details.
Server 'NAME' won't return the correct time.
The complete error message is:
Server 'NAME' won't return the correct time. Please check the timesync status on this server. --- Error caused by a NetWare API error --- This error means that the error code returned has different meanings for different functions. (Error code: 0X89fb Function Name: NWGetFileServerUTCTime)
This error can happen on NetWare 6.5 servers and is caused by the server using XNTP.NLM instead of TIMESYNC.NLM and NCP support for XNTP.NLM being turned off. The solution is to modify the file SYS:\ETC\NTP.CONF and remove the option NONCP from it. This is also described earlier in this document.
Invalid Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version
The Migration Wizard stores the project configuration in an MDB file and the MDAC components to access the MDB file. If you get a message about your MDAC components being too old, you need to get the latest update from the Microsoft web site and install it. It is however a bit strange that the Migration Wizard is so picky about the exact version given the quite limited usage. The MDB database created by the Wizard is very small and the bulk of the data like for instance the file ownership and trustee information is not stored in the MDB database but rather in a Novell specific file format on the server itself.

Conspiritus is an interactive, virtual reality biofeedback game, which aims to provide an entertaining way for players to have fun while on a quest of self-discovery.
The Conspiritus video game uses custom biofeedback sensors, 2D and 3D graphics, and audio to create an immersive and interactive virtual reality world. In this reality, players will navigate and explore a virtual world represented in a pop culture-esque style. Players will experience a multimedia-aided story, taken from a framework of world myths, metaphors, and folk sagas. Conspiritus uses a respiration monitor belt worn around the player's upper abdomen, which will measure a player's breathing pattern. A headband worn on the player's forehead monitors subtle brainwave activity. These biofeedback sensors send input into a 3D video game engine, which will be used for navigation and interactivity inside the game. Motion tracking will also be used to navigate inside the 3D environment. Each player will have a unique and entertaining experience, while gaining insight about undiscovered strength within themselves.

Creators behind the Curtains
Since the beginning of time people of all cultures have tried to explain the unexplainable. Through ancient creation myths cultures reveal their fate after death, the reasons for crises or miracles, and yet they retain and even encourage a curtain of mystery. Myths above all satisfy our need to understand the natural world and our place in the cosmos even with the advent of modern science and technology.
Our project combines opposing mediums to convey these ancient creation myths while lending itself to the advent of modern technology. We utilize the influence of sculptural ceramic tiles as a narrative medium and a natural element, which is interrelated with the myths. Along with the tiles there is a harmonious blend with computers through which the story is told in a 360-degree environment. This purpose of our project is to encourage you to fall into that curtain of mystery and absorb yourself in both an ancient and modern story telling environment. Join us and witness the creators behind the curtains.

The Magic Lantern: "The Magic Lantern" is an opera for DVD with interactive DVD/ROM components. The DVD uses the medias of word, sound, music, video and graphics to reveal the narrative and promote the inquiry. The narrative consists of two parallel texts ("Freak Map" and "Libretto") that address the area of inquiry, with each informing the other. The "Libretto" is written in free verse and is intended to be performed and heard. The "Freak Map" is written in prose was structured to be read. The "Libretto" is performed in its entirety. Portions of the second text, the "Freak Map" are nested within it. The audio, visual and graphic elements were chosen not as literal translation of the text but as illustrations of the transitory and contextual nature of interpretation of word and idea. They are meant as parchment where the word is written to be lost. The DVD/ROM portion of the DVD will contain copies of both texts and links to background research and additional links about the work.

3 children killed in knife attack at China school
BEIJING (AP) — A 40-year-old man stabbed students and teachers with a fruit knife at an elementary school in central China on Monday, killing three children and injuring six other people before jumping to his death, officials said.
The attack on the first day after summer break injured five other children and one teacher at Dongfang primary school in Yunxi county in Hubei province, they said.
Two students were hospitalized with serious injuries, said Deng Yunshan, a government official in Chengguan, the township where the school is located.
The assailant jumped to his death from a fourth-floor window after the attack, Deng said.
Yunxi county's propaganda office identified the man only by his family name, Chen, and said he was a parent.
An investigation into the incident is underway, Deng said. No further details were immediately available.
China has suffered a series of attacks on kindergartens and grade schools. The culprits often are identified as mentally ill or as being angry at society.

Scroll through all the photographs and footage of the mass protest movements in Tunisia, Yemen and Egypt and you will not be hard-pressed to find some women in the crowds. Perhaps fewer here and more there, but they are present and making their voices heard. Nawal El Saadawi, an Egyptian human rights activist and former political prisoner told NPR "women and girls are beside the boys, are in the streets. We are calling for justice, freedom and equality, and real democracy, and a new constitution where there is no discrimination between men and women, no discrimination between Muslim and Christians, to change the system and to have real democracy."
While these countries, indeed the greater region, is looking toward "freedom" with an emphasis on "reform", they would do well to look inward, as individuals and as a society, to see what they need to reform at home – not just what their governments need to reform from the top down.
At this point, we all accept the truth that widespread corruption, unrewarding social and economic conditions coupled with repression and lack of political freedom has become a volatile combination that gives Arab regimes everywhere reason to worry about popular uprisings. We associate the protests with throngs of Arab male youth. But these bleak circumstances apply just as well to young Arab women, some of whom have made it onto the streets with clenched fists and gone home with tired vocal chords; many of whom aspire to greater things than being married off before they're ready, being expected to bear more children than they can take care of, and living a sequestered life of domestic service, as rewarding as that may be to those who choose that path. The trouble is, reform must start at home. And at home, in most of these countries, life continues unchallenged under autocratic rule: the rule of the patriarch. Choice for women is still scarce and the freedom that comes with the right to choose is still illusive.
Take a look at Yemen and you'll see some of the most repressive cultural practices against women. More than half of Yemenese girls are married off before the age of 18. A law introduced last year to declare "child briding" illegal was brought down with Islamist protests. There is no culture of education for women/girls, and fathers admittedly think it's a waste of time to educate their daughters. They see them as simply a labor force, to be used while they are in possession, and to be paid for once they are married off. The logic is that once married, the girls are now a labor force for the groom's family and the patriarch should pay for the purchase. This tradition leads to the abuse of women and girls over the duration of a lifetime. Reform has to start at home.
Take a look at Egypt and you will find that more than a quarter of its children live below the level of poverty (less than $1US/day) and in rural areas that number is far higher, according to the UN perhaps as high as 45%. This may explain why families feel the need to sell their daughters to servitude, in order to be able to feed the rest of the family. Education in rural areas is a non-starter, often even for young boys, much less the girls. Basic health care and hygiene are unavailable to an estimated 5 to 6.6 million children in Egypt, according to IRIN. The women who are largely tasked with caring for and raising these children fare no better. They were likely brided at an early age, had children in an uncontrolled way and have little resources and no education by which to support them. The men dictate the rules of the family and the women have no say in the husband they spend their lives with, the age at which they bear children or the number of children they bear.
A prominent voice on the Egyptian uprising recently told of a twitter message where a young Egyptian woman said at a demonstration she attended in support of women judges in Egypt, a man who opposed the appointments of women to the State Council, an influential court which governs matters of administrative law in Egypt, yelled at the women "a woman menstruates so she shouldn't be a judge". A male lawyer yelled "Go home and cook for your husbands." Does that sound reform minded to you?
Tunis, on the other hand, enforced relatively equal treatment of its women. A civil rights code created in 1956 legalized the near equal status of women to men in the eyes of the local law. In Tunis, under Ben-Ali, women were banned from wearing head scarves in schools or government offices. Ben Ali and his predecessor made sure Tunisia was governed ruthlessly, but secularly. Tunisian women are described as "unique in the Arab world" for enjoying greater freedoms than their Arab neighbors.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports Tunisian women have the same rights to divorce as men, and polygamy is illegal. "Women here have had access to birth control since 1962 and have had access to abortion since 1965 — eight years before Roe v. Wade gave American women the same right." Now that's reform minded.
But we will be watching closely to see what transpires in the aftermath of Tunisia's revolution, and how women continue to fare, particularly if Islamists rule the land without a commitment to separate mosque and state.

Dynamic Faculty
February 05, 2013
Professors at Lewis & Clark are dedicated teachers and renowned scholars, researching and publishing—often in partnership with students—at the leading edges of their disciplines.
Paul Powers
Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Core Curriculum Director
What are you working on currently?
At the moment I am in Marrakesh, Morocco, leading the study-abroad program here. I'm also starting a new article on the role of "expiation" or "atonement"—ways of making up for violations of religious law in the eyes of God—in pre-modern Islamic law. So I am gathering sources and trying to understand the place of Islamic law in contemporary Moroccan law and society. My experience teaching at Lewis & Clark has helped me see ways of making this potentially arcane material more relevant and lively for students.
Lewis & Clark students really appreciate being challenged. They don't want just to be told that they are right, that their ideas are good enough already. It's rewarding to encounter that attitude so regularly.Paul PowersAssociate Professor of Religious Studies and Core Curriculum Director
What class do you most enjoy teaching?
My favorites are two introductory-level courses I teach regularly, one on early Islam (RELS 273) and the other on Islam in the modern world (RELS 274). Both explore ways of life that seem at first altogether foreign to most Lewis & Clark students. They learn about one of the major civilizations in human history while also considering their own ideas and practices in the context of some very different cultures. For example, I love encouraging students to question the perception that Islamic law is harsh or scary. We discuss how it is just one of the ways humans have tried to bring order to a world that many people have found frighteningly disorderly.
Niko Loening
Associate Professor of Chemistry
What are you working on currently?
Lewis & Clark students have a lot of great qualities, but what I like best are their independence and intellectual curiosity.Niko LoeningAssociate Professor of Chemistry
I'm focused on novel peptides in spider venoms. There are a vast number of these peptides and only a few of them have been structurally and functionally characterized completely. They are often neurotoxic, which means that they are able to inhibit specific proteins found in neurons. Consequently, they have potential uses as drugs or insecticides.
What class do you most enjoy teaching?
My favorite is Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy (CHEM 464), a small, specialized class where students not only learn about how the three-dimensional structures of proteins are determined, but actually get to take part in this work.
Maureen Healy
Associate Professor of History
What class do you most enjoy teaching?
I am part of a collaborative effort among several groups of historians to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I in 2014. There is a lot of interest in this area of European history right now, and historians are revisiting some of the key assumptions about the period and its events. At Lewis & Clark, I am teaching a reading colloquium on the Great War in Europe (HIST 400) to senior and junior history majors, an amazing group of students. It is a very small, discussion-based class and the students get to tackle the material head on. I'm also excited to teach History of Islam in Europe (HIST 325) again this fall. The subject is very close to my current research interests, and the course allows students to study the historical roots of some of today's hottest political topics.
I enjoy the curiosity that Lewis & Clark students bring to their work. They ask good questions. I also find working with students on their writing to be rewarding. Maureen HealyAssociate Professor of History
What are you working on currently?
I am most passionate about my new project on the historical memory of Turks in Central Europe. I spent last year in Vienna on a Fulbright research grant and did a lot of archival work on the images of Turks (and Muslims more generally) in this part of the world. Presently there are political tensions between Austria's right-wing political parties and the growing Turkish immigrant community. As a historian, I am interested in how these relationships were forged in the past—in 1683 the Ottoman Turks nearly captured Vienna, and ever since the story of being "under siege" by Muslims has shaped Austrian historical consciousness.

DENVER (AP) — A woman who was critically wounded in the Colorado theater shooting that left dead her 6-year-old daughter has suffered a miscarriage.
The family of Ashley Moser said in a statement Saturday that she is recovering from surgery but that the trauma caused the miscarriage.
Jacki Kelley of the Jefferson County sheriff's office declined to release details and says the family has declined to speak to the media.
Moser's daughter, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was the youngest person killed in the attack at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in Aurora, Colo., more than a week ago.
Moser suffered gunshot wounds to her neck and abdomen. A family member has said they hadn't told her about Veronica's death.
The family says funeral plans for the girl remain pending.

Jermaine Beckford: English football's possible saviour
TO BEGIN I would like to point out that there are fewer footballers I dislike more than Jermaine Beckford.
He made his name playing for Leeds United, the main local rivals of my team, Huddersfield Town and I was at Elland Road last season when he reacted worse to being substituted against Southampton than any player I have seen.
But this season he has the opportunity to revolutionise the way Premier League sides recruit their players. Read the rest of this entry »

Eubanks, whose duties included comic sidekick to Leno as well as guitarist, had been aboard since Leno took over NBC's "Tonight" in 1992. Eubanks became musical director when Branford Marsalis left in 1995.
The 52-year-old Eubanks joined Leno last fall for the short-lived "The Jay Leno Show" in prime time, then came back to "Tonight" when Leno reclaimed the show from Conan O'Brien in March. O'Brien left NBC rather than move "Tonight" to a later slot to make room for Leno in late night.

In April, Eubanks announced his plans to depart, but he insisted the recent turmoil had played no part in his decision. He said he was seeking a career change of pace.
Exiting with Eubanks will be the other five members of the Tonight Show Band. They include vocalist and percussionist Vicki Randle, keyboardist Gerry Etkins, bass guitarist Derrick "Dock" Murdock, saxophonist Ralph Moore and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith.
"We have gone through all this together," said Eubanks, introducing and thanking them.

During the hourlong show, a clip reel highlighted comic moments Leno and Eubanks have shared through the years, then Eubanks was featured performing an original song.
He will be replaced by former "American Idol" music director Rickey Minor, who arrives with his own troupe June 7.

Hello Mark
Zap6 is a bit unstable though, I have to revisit it at some point soon and get to the bottom of a few bugs and build a 3.8+ kernel to take advantage of the f2fs stuff we are working on. That will be cool.
Oh yes, saw your puppybrowser post too. That would be a good addition. I have the 256 MB pi and chrome is very slow with it, Seamonke/Iceape were a little better. One good image I did try was one by sironm (name on pi forum) based on slackware-13.37 with midori as the browser, It was quite usable. A trouble with midori though is of course the many needed dependencies. I toyed with the idea of slack based arm-pup however slackware bins aren't optimised for pi so raspbian is the way to go for the future based pups IMHO.
I'm still a bit noob with the ARM stuff but when I get a bit more time I will have some more fun with it.

yes Mick, there still are some glitches, but that does not disturb me.
The Raspi is too slow to be used as a desktop computer for everyday use, but great for special purposes.
I want to build a "digital lens" for my mum.
She has bad eyesight and with her 69 years does not want to learn to use a computer.
So I need a device that can be turned on with a switch, boots into the camera application, and then can be switched off again.
No keyboard, no mouse.
The raspi is ideal, even for long term use, as it needs no fan.
1 fps with a HDTV cam is enough for the purpose to assemble the cam in a small box, and add some LEDs for good image quality.
Then she can read the paper newspaper or watch old fotos with this device.
The Logitech C 910 (not 920) is not cheap (80 Euro), but ideal. It has a wide angle (78°), autofocus, and high resolution. Like this it can display newspapers and such very clear with around 9 cm distance.
I have this working already with raspian wheezy (just need to assemble the box now), and now want some slight optimizations like faster boot.
So I tried Zap6, and though the full new kernel boots slower, the results look promising.
Will remove some modules again to speed up boot (need no sound on my device).
When it is finished, I think I will create an updatescript that applies all my changes to a zap6.
Looking forward further projects of yours
I think I will buy 2 other raspis for myself to set up a fileserver and a media center or so.
Have a good time, Mark

Headfound, yes, she actually does.
But try it yourself:
the lens is heavy, and the letters look distorted.
Myself I prefer to move around a small box containing a camera, with a plain image on the monitor.
And the zoomfactor is higher.
On a 22'' Monitor, a 1 Eurocent coin has the size of up to 7 of my fingers side by side. So the zoomfactor is approx 8, and could even be higher with a larger monitor.
The glass-lenses typically just have a gain by factor 3.
I want to finish everything, and then present it to her.
If she still prefers the glasslens, it does not matter, as I have already several other ideas on how to use the raspi

sounds really interesting mark!
I wonder if it could be combined into a system for older people - build a basic mouse and camera into one unit with onscreen keyboard so they are able to do other simple tasks too.

here are fotos of my prototype.
The sytem (Zap6 with the new Kernel) boots into the camera viewer in 15 to 25 seconds. I have not found out yet, why it is sometimes faster, sometimes slightly slower.
(I run "exec luvcview -s 1712x960" from /root/.xinitrc instead of jwm and rox.)
Resolution is 1792x960 on a 1680x1050 Monitor.
I later will add a small puppybasic program, that places a black borderless window over the controls of luvcview (have this done on raspian already).
The camera is placed in a carton box.
I also added 4 LEDs to light up the box. They are soldered in parallel, each with a 470 Ohm resistor. They have their own power supply with 9 V. I think I will use 8 or 10 LEDs finally for optimal light. I have cut the round end of the LEDs to get diffused light, as with the round bulbs they act like spots.
I also tried to power them using a passive usb-hub from the raspi, but they flickered. I think the raspi and cam together need quite some power, so I don't want to stress the usb-ports too much.
The image is excellent, even better than on the fotos (they got distorted a bit using a webcam in the dark to take the fotos).
The image needs around 2-3 seconds to adjust if you move the cam, this is working pretty good.
I finally will place the LEDs on a circuit board, at moment they are "freely wired". Apart from such minor fixes the system now is ready to present it to my mom

I haven't checked in here for ages. :0
I will have to download the latest image and have a play.
I have been working with arch instead, but my latest remix of arch is quite heavily puppy inspired.
If anyone gets a chance to test it, I'd really appreciate the feedback.

Post subject: Printing (not) with ZAP Pi
Subject description: Epson & Cups
Because it's so cold here (day-time and it's only 14C!!), I thought I'd stay inside and try to set up a print server using a Raspberry Pi and an oldish Epson Stylus Photo RX430 (USB-only, ink-jet, all-in-one).
Started yesterday with Raspbian on the NOOBS package from Pi but gave up after a day wasted because of sudos and non-permissions and a generally extremely slow response (Midori - horrible), as well as being unable to print when I finally got CUPS running.
Using an old TV (Composite) doesn't help as the graphics are oversized with its coarse display. Generally the 'OK' buttons, etc are off the bottom of the display unless the window is maximised.
Enough of that so today it was back to Puppy. But I couldn't get BK's SAPs running (no lit-up green LED on the Pi so my 8GB SD card wasn't booting for some reason), so switched to ZAP and had 'instant' success (instant is a relative term with Pis).
Took a few goes to get internet access (wizard buttons were off the screen and I wanted to choose a static address as this was suggested by the Raspbian how-tos for a network print server).
Iceape was giving me the start-up "bin" problem box I was told to ignore but then would browse (slowly).
The Pi comparison between PuppyZap & Raspbian felt like lightning versus lard.
Opened Cups with the wizard and tried set up the Epson as a local printer (connected by a USB cable) but found no Epson drivers were included in ZAP. Downloaded a Debian Gutenprint package (5.2.7) and eventually found the Epson ppd in gz format. Copied the ungz-ed ppd to the Cups /usr/share/ directory and Cups seemed to accept this when browsed to it and indicated the Epson was now an installed local printer on the Pi.
But I can not print a test page (via the maintenance option). Cups replies that there is no file or directory found (?). Is this Cups because Cups has been trimmed for ZAP?
As an alternative printer check, I tried to print a one-line file from the text editor as the Epson was showing up as the default printer but nothing happened.
Unplugging the printer's USB lead from the Pi and into this desktop and everything will print.
So.................can anyone advise me on how to get the Epson printer printing locally from the Pi?
David S.
And I know that I could get a brand-new network-enabled ink-jet printer for a few dollars and should put the old Epson in the bin (the Pi too?). It's just the principle of the thing. Even if I fluke it with the Epson, I'll probably keep using our colour laser network printer anyway, it is much faster and better quality

Post subject: Puppy PiPrint Server
Subject description: ZAP still no-go but SAP fully printing
Just an up-dated up-date on the above post.
Puppy PIPrint Server achieved (1 out of 2)
By copying all the files in the first partition made by ZAP to the not-loading SAP SD card, I got SAP booting and working and, with a bit of a learning curve climbed, found SAP will function as a print server for the Epson Stylus Photo RX430 with other Linux (Puppy) computers on my home network. Unfortunately I had not got a Windows computer (7 or XP) to connect immediately. It's her-indoors' printer and her Windows computers so it was a problem on the 'local' network until I entered the full and correct details for the printer address and name to the the Windows 'Add Printer' prompts
. And now even a Windows computer can print through the Pi to the Epson
ZAP problem with CUPS 1.5.3 unfixed
I think ZAP has a cut-down CUPS-1.5.3? There are few printers listed in the 'Add Printer' options. With a ppd file added by me for the Epson RX430, CUPS seems to add the printer but still gives the "Unable to print test page: No such file or directory" message and then "/commandtoepson" not available: No such file or directory" Status message if I try the "Print Test Page" in the Maintenace options.
Trying to print a simple text file from Geany where the Epson is listed as a 'Local Printer', printing fails (CUPS State is "stopped") with the Status message "/rastertogutenprint.5.2" not available: no such file or directory"
I do see cupssddk_1.5.3-1 listed as a CUPS transitional package in the System section of the ZAP Puppy Package Manager under debian-wheezy-main. HoweverZAP does not let me install this from the Puppy Package Manager (mirrors wont respond - 404 message). Do I need a gutenprint drivers package to correctly add the Epson, and if so, from where/what type and how to install such?
Thanks for any ideas.

Sorry, missed this thread before I started another RPi thread in Puppy Derrivatives -- though in that one I'm talking about Squeezed Arm puppy Alpha 4.
With regard to the slowness issue -- I/m running a B+ board which has 512 megsof memory, and overclocked to 900 mhz without problems. The standard Raspbian raspi-config program allows overclocking without voiding the RPi warranty.
I'm also running root/ on an external USB drive (either thumb or HD) in Raspbian, which speeds things up quite a bit compared to the SD card. The sdcard is simply used at boot time, and can be slow and 2 gigs in size (even that isn't needed technically, but is a minimum available supported size)
I hate to see this project abandoned because I see great potential here with a $35 computer.
Berryboot offers Squeezed ARM Alpha4 as one of the OS choices, but not Zap6 -- if you want more interest in developing this, maybe we should get that out there.
The Raspi community doesn't understand the advantages of Puppy, and with some small but simple to correct UI flaws in the Squeezed Arm puppy, people are quickly discouraged from going further with it. I'd like to solve these issues if we can. There are 3 million boards out there, I believe.

Yes, I know you can create folders and they will sort alphabetically but I am tired of folders with single items in them just to get some reasonable sorting going and guide users through their processes.
To try to get some alphabetical sorting going, I have optimistically logged RFE 75869
I am sure I am not the only one who would like to see this changed. Please go to the RFE site an vote (after clearing cookies, logging in prior to clicking the link above etc. etc. etc.)
Thanks in advance.
The gist of the RFE is:
Applications are used to create and organize short-cuts for users to more easily perform tasks or find related items by using a classification methodology.
Per the documentation: Display Order for References in Applications
TM1® displays references in applications in the following order. Within each reference group, TM1 sorts the references alphabetically in descending order: Cubes, Views, Dimensions, Subsets, Processes, Chores, Files and URLs
This is nonsensical as no real-world deployment would have workflow adhering to this sort order. The order should at least be parameter driven to allow modellers to set the sort to Alphabetical.
Use Case
An administrator has configured an application folder for users with step-by-step short-cuts linking them to the requisite processes, views etc.
The items required are as follows:
1-Data Import.process
2-Overnight Scheduler.chore
3-All N.subset
6-Input Sheet.xlsx.blob
The application folder however shows:
3-All N.subset
1-Data Import.process
2-Overnight Scheduler.chore
6-Input Sheet.xlsx.blob
This is counter-intuitive and requires all sorts of work-arounds to present a coherent workflow to users. A simple alphabetical sort would sort this issue.
RFE 75869-Applications-Folder item sort order to be alphabetical
Suggest and discuss enhancements for TM1
