•
Designer access to all mail databases that you want to migrate
•
Create database rights on the migration server.
•
Editor access to the Domino Directory, with Create document rights and the NetModifier
role.
•
Must be listed as an Administrator on all mail and migration servers.
•
Must have the rights to run restricted agents on all migration servers.
If you intend to replicate the Administration database, keep in mind that each migration server
must have at least Reader access to each mail file that you are going to migrate. The easiest
way to achieve this is to make sure that the ACL for each mail database has a
LocalDomainServers entry with at least Reader access.
[Optional] Disable Mail Database Replication
We recommend that you disable replication of mail databases during the migration process.
Mail is flagged with a migration status as it moves through the process, and so the Last
Modified property changes each time a message is flagged. Each time this property changes,
the message is replicated, which can cause a significant amount of unwanted network traffic.
This recommendation presumes you plan to stop using Notes once the migration to Google
Apps has begun.
Check File-Size Restrictions
By default, your Domino servers do not restrict the size of an individual message. If you have
imposed a file-size restriction at any point, you need to relax that restriction so that the mail
servers can send legacy messages that exceed the file size to the migration servers.
To check the Maximum message size setting:
1. In the Domino Directory, open the mail server’s Configuration document.
2. Click the Router/SMTP tab.
3. Click the Restrictions and Controls tab.
4. Click the Restrictions tab.
5. Set the Maximum message size to 0. This value imposes no limit on message size.
Create the Administration Database
Create the Administration database from the Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes
template (gmail-migration.ntf) that you copied to your migration server and signed earlier.
We recommend that you create the Administration database in its own folder (gamln) on the
migration server so that all Feeder and log databases are kept together in once place on the
server.
