The migration process involves the following steps:
Accessing the product contents
Stopping and disabling components
Installing the NSM 4.1 Engine
Installing the license
Migrating the database
Configuring the Engine
Migrating the Engine Data
Installing the Event Monitor
Installing the Agents
Installing NSMAdmin
Reviewing the migrated policies
Uninstalling Novell Storage Manager components
Removing the Novell Storage Manager data folders
Your options for migration can be either installing the components on the same server where the Novell Storage Manager components are located, or on a different server. The only real migration that takes place is the database, which can be done in-place or across the wire.
