Question : SAGE Line 100 Migration

Hi Folks,

I have got a project coming up which involves migrating a network of 8 client computers and a Sage server to new kit.

The Sage server is Sage line 100 running on DOS (very old machine)

The clients are all W95/98 and are connected over a BNC token ring network

I'm looking at migrating the whole lot to PCs running XP on CAT5e ethernet.

I have got no problem setting up the network, but as I have never worked with SAGE before I need someone to write a step thru guide on how to get the data off the old machine (what files/solders etc) and getting it running on a newer version of line 100 (which will run on XP) - and what I need to watch our for. Also how I set the clients up.

At the moment I believe that SAGE is backup up onto a remote PCs hard disk( I think it must use a utility in sage ?)

Sorry that this is vague but this is all I know at the moment, and I have got to go to this company and attempt to do this in one fowl swoop next week.

I will award the generous points to the most clear and detailed comments

Thanks

Answer : SAGE Line 100 Migration

I assume you are using Novell's Client32 software, custom installed (with IPX).  There is an Advanced button on the Login panel.  Click on this and, to the right of the three fields are three buttons.  Click on the one against the Server label.  After some seconds (Netware looks to see what servers are available), a list will pop up of the available servers.  Click on the one listed, then try logging in.  You will need the Login Name and password for the Server otherwise you will not be able to get into the server.  On Netware 3.12 the default login used to be 'admin' so give that a go.
