Platform prerequisites
CloudM Migrate only supports migrations from HCL / Lotus Notes version 10 and earlier.
The following software should be installed on the migration workstation:
- HCL Notes client, version 6.0.2 or higher (up to HCL Notes version 10). The client installation should be compatible with the server installation
You will also need:
- The HCL Notes/Domino server address
- Administrator username. The username is usually in the format Admin/ORG
- Administrator password
- Administrator Notes ID file
Source Platform prerequisites
Service Access to Mapped Drives - If you are using the web version of CloudM Migrate or a multi server setup with secondary servers and want to migrate NSF files that are not on the Notes server and will be accessed directly from the file system then you should make sure that the CloudM Migrate service has access to mapped drives if the files are located there. Please see the article on making mapped drives available for more information.
Logging into the Notes Client - You must log into the Notes client on all servers where the migration will run when logged into the server as the specified Windows User and with the Notes Administrator username and password. Note Client should be closed after logging in. Failure to do this will result in permission issues when opening the Notes ID file.
Source Platform Settings
Choose Lotus Notes as the migration source and enter your HCL Notes (Lotus Notes / IBM Domino) settings into CloudM Migrate and then click Next.
Multi-Server configuration and network access - In a multi-server configuration, it is vitally important that the Master and Secondary servers have full network access. In some scenarios, this may require configuring proxy settings through Internet Explorer by clicking Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Local Area Network (LAN) settings to allow access.
