Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux

Situation

iPrint migration from a NetWare cluster to a Linux server fails with the following message in the /var/opt/novell/log/migration/iprintmig.log.

FATAL - IPRINT:/opt/novell/bin/iprintmig:Fatal(2): PSMInfo.xml file does not exists on the Target Server
ERROR - IPRINT:iprintmig:iprintmig command failed!

Resolution

The iPrint migration tool assumes the iprint.ini is located on the cluster resource.  However, the iprint.ini resides on the node (sys:\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\iprint.ini)

Workaround:
Manually copy the iprint.ini to the Linux server and instruct the iPrint migration tool to not attempt to copy the iprint.ini.

1.  Copy sys:\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\iprint.ini to /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/
2.  Edit /opt/novell/bin/iprintmig

Approximately at line 2330 find and comment out these lines by adding a # at the beginning of each line.

3.  Save the changes.
4.  Run the migration again.
