Even with the best possible tuning, your theoretical transfer time will be at least 20 hours with just a 100Mbps card and the expected pratical maximum will be along the values you indicated in your message 2) Install SP8 on your source server 3) Make sure you destination server is running SP5+upd1 or SP6 4) Use the following SET paramaters on your source server. Note that the directory cahcing parameters may be a bit extreme for normal operation and are targeted towards the consolidation tool SET TCP Minshall Algorithm = On SET TCP Nagle Algorithm = On SET TCP Delayed Acknowledgement = On SET Directory Cache Allocation Wait Time = 0.1 Sec SET Directory Cache Buffer NonReferenced Delay = 600 Sec SET Maximum Directory Cache Buffers = 20000 (maximum half of your cache buffers if your server has little memory) SET Minimum Directory Cache Buffers = 1500 SET Enable Hardware Write Back = On SET Enable Disk Read After Write Verify = Off SET Dirty Disk Cache Delay Time = 0.1 Sec SET Purge Files On Dismount = On 5) Clean up the autoexec.ncf on the source server to disable all unneeded services and reboot the server. 6) Make sure you use the latest version of the Consolidation and Migration toolkit. The latest version is the one you can currently download from download.novell.com and it is also the version on the NW65SP5 or NW65SP6 support pack or overlay CDs (the last updated versionw as released with SP5). >Is purchasing the latest Arcserve going to be the quickest option. You should be aware that there are always some issues when restoring 5.1 backups to a 6.5 server: - if you have special characters in some file names, that could cause problems - compressed files will cause problems. You have to make sure you do your backup uncompressed which might significantly slow down your backup on the source server if you have a lot of compressed files and your server isn't the fastest. -- Marcel Cox http://support.novell.com/forums

NetWare 5.1 SP3 server no longer able to ping NetWare 5.1 SP8 server
I'm hoping someone can help me rather quickly. We upgraded on our master NetWare 5.1 server from SP3 to SP8 on Thursday morning. Unfortunately, one of our other NetWare 5.1 SP3 servers just stopped time syncing with it on Saturday. We desperately need to get it talking again because of Groupwise, etc. I was wondering if upgrading it to SP8 would resolve the problem. Unfortunately, our time sync isn't working, and I'm afraid of trying SP8. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! On Tue, 19 Jul 2005 16:03:22 GMT, eberlyd@bbsol.us wrote: >I'm hoping so...

Netware 6.5 Server with a Netware 5.0 Server?

Netware 5.1, Netware 5.1 SP6, Netware 5.1 SP8, Nici
I'm building a test network that is currently a mess. This network will be used to test the migration of my 10 netware 5.1 Sp 6 servers to NW 6.5. I'm putting two netware 5.1 servers and one MS 2003 server into the test network. Testserver 1 is a 5.1 SP6 server with a master replica.

Moving DHCP Subnets from NetWare 5.1 to NetWare 6.x Server
