iPrint Migration from POSIX Cluster Resource Fails

Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux

Situation

When attempting to run iPrint migration (miggui), the tool reports that the Driver Store is not active.  The /var/opt/novell/migration/<projectName>/log/iprint.log shows the following error:

Failed to obtain a NetIQ eDirectory Server connection to <IP Address> or NetIQ eDirectory Server is not running.

Resolution

Run this command on source server:

Syntax:
ncpcon bind --ncpservername=<anyname> --ipaddress=<IP of Source Cluster Volume>
Example:
ncpcon bind --ncpservername=iprinttest --ipaddress=172.52.38.12

Cause

miggui runs an ndsstat command against the IP address of the POSIX cluster resource.  The ndsstat command will fail because POSIX cluster resources do not listen on the ncp port of 524 by default.  The suggested resolution causes the POSIX cluster resource to listen on port 524.
