5 Migrating From Mac OS X Server
Version 10.2
Use the instructions in this chapter when you need to
migrate data from a version 10.2.8 server to a different
computer running version 10.4.
You can migrate data from Mac OS X Server version 10.2.8 computers that can’t be
upgraded to version 10.4.7 or later. Such computers may:
 Require hard disk reformatting or replacement with a newer computer.
 Be using server hardware that doesn’t have:
 A PowerPC G4 or G5 processor.
 Built-in FireWire.
 At least 512 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM).
 At least 10 gigabytes (GB) of disk space available.
If your Mac OS X Server v10.4 installation disc is v10.4.6 or earlier, you can migrate data
from a v10.2.8 server to a replacement server with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor;
built-in FireWire; at least 128 MB of RAM (256 MB or more required for high-demand
servers running multiple services); and at least 4 GB of disk space available.
Before You Begin
Before using the instructions in this chapter, perform initial setup of the version 10.4
server to which you’ll migrate data. See the getting started guide for instructions.
If necessary, upgrade the server whose data you’ll migrate so it’s running version 10.2.8.
Understanding What You Can Migrate
The information in “Step-by-Step Instructions” on page 49 describes how to reuse the
