Before migrating data, remember the following:
  • Data must be backed up before it can be restored. To ensure the safety of your data, back up your system frequently.
  • When migrating or restoring a non-LDAP user from a maintenance backup, if a “logid” (login ID) does not exist in /etc/passwd, the user is created as a new logid. If this occurs, the migration and restore logs contain entries such as the following:
    -    /cms/maint/r3mig/mig.log
    INFO: New UNIX user normusr1: name, room and telephone will not be migrated.
    -    /cms/maint/restore/rest.log Created UNIX login 'normusr1'.
    Warning: Name, Telephone, and Room will not be restored for normusr1.
    You must perform password administration for the new logid just like you would for a new user. For more information about setting user passwords, see Administering Avaya Call Management System.
