Migration Management

1.2.    About Binary Tree Migrator for Notes

Migrator for Notes is the most comprehensive software available for migrating from HCL Domino to Microsoft Exchange or Office 365.

Migrator for Notes not only supports migrations to on-premises Microsoft Outlook and Exchange, but also to online versions of Microsoft Outlook and hosted Exchange, including Office 365. Please note that Active Directory requires the Exchange schema update or extension to have the mail attributes in on-premise Active Directory. Refer to Microsoft documentation for more information.

Migrator for Notes, which is a part of Quest’s Binary Tree CMT suite of migration solutions, offers unmatched data fidelity, migration management, and migration throughput.

Data Fidelity

Migrator for Notes migrates HCL Notes email messages, calendar entries, contacts, to-do lists, personal journal entries (notebook entries) and more to Microsoft Outlook and Exchange while retaining the original text formatting, images, attachments, and links. Migrator for Notes also ensures that custom recurring meetings are properly migrated so that any subsequent changes, reschedules, or cancellations can be entered for all instances of the meeting. The data fidelity of Migrator for Notes significantly reduces the risk that your users will experience business process disruptions, data loss, or corruption.

Migration Management

Migrator for Notes allows you to manage the entire migration project. Migrator for Notes enables you to schedule users for migration, monitor the status of their migration, and to configure pre- and post-processing actions, such as decrypting encrypted email items, collecting rules and Access Control Lists. Migrator for Notes also enables you to control the data being migrated by enabling you to filter it by data type and to set quotas on the amount of data migrated per mailbox. Acting as a centralized migration management system, Migrator for Notes reduces the risk of forgotten tasks and provides an audit trail of tasks both completed as well as pending.

Migration Throughput

Migrator for Notes can scale to meet the migration requirements of any organization. Under optimal conditions, a single Migrator for Notes migration workstation can migrate up to 8 GB of data per hour. For smaller organizations, one Migrator for Notes workstation may be appropriate. For larger migrations, multiple Migrator for Notes workstations, whether on virtual machines or individual workstations, will coordinate the work effortlessly. Adding additional workstations is a simple and painless process. These additional workstations use a technology called Automated Workload Distribution (AWD) to ensure that each workstation is kept busy continuously.

Quest has performed multiple laboratory tests to evaluate Migrator for Notes migration throughput. We have observed migration speeds of up to 8 GB of data per hour. Migration throughput will vary widely depending upon the source system, migration environment and target system. Review the list of testing details below.

 


For testing the throughput of the migration system, we recommend that you migrate to .pst for a baseline of migration worker performance.

 


Review any data throughput or throttling restrictions on the target messaging system. These are typically applied through Exchange system throttling policies, restricting items such as burst allowances and maximum allowed user and MAPI connections. Additional information on Exchange throttling can be requested from Microsoft support.

Migrator for Notes does allow for multiple Outlook migration accounts to be used and spread over multiple migration workers to prevent throttling on a single Outlook account from impacting all migrations. Quest recommends configuring one Outlook migration account for every five migration workers with Exchange on-premise or for every two migration workers with Office 365 if AWD is used.

Lab Throughput Testing Details:

  • Lab migrations are performed over a high-speed LAN (1000 mbps)

  • Lab Domino and Exchange Servers support very few active users

  • Lab Migration workstation(s) normally have 2 GB of RAM or higher (often 4 GB). Although Binary Tree specifies a minimum acceptable amount of RAM as 4 GB is strongly recommended. Also, processor speeds and number of processors increase migration throughput.

  • Higher migration speeds have been observed on physical workstations versus virtual ones

  • Migration throughput is higher when migrating smaller number of messages with larger attachments than larger number of messages with smaller attachments. Additionally, disk I/O speeds greatly impact the throughput when migrating messages with attachments.

  • Migration throughput is lower when migrating calendar data, especially repeating calendar events. Large number of reschedules of repeating calendar events dramatically decreases migration throughput as all meeting updates must be processed prior to the data being migrated.

  • Large number of entries in the name translation table used to resolve source recipient lists decreases migration throughput

  • Large numbers of personal contact distribution lists, and especially distribution lists with many members, dramatically decreases migration throughput. Lab migration performance does not necessarily provide accurate estimates for production migration performance. The only way of determining the throughput you may achieve in your own environment is to set up and run a proof-of-concept project.

1.3.    Product Overview

Migrator for Notes is an application that migrates HCL Lotus Domino/Notes mail, calendar, contacts, and other databases, such as Rooms & Resources, to Microsoft Exchange. There are two major activities involved in a migration:

  • Pre-migration activities

  • Actual data conversion

 

The Migrator for Notes application contains all the required tools to give you complete control of these two activities.

Pre-Migration

The Migrator for Notes database provides centralized control and management of all pre-migration activities.

The database provides all the steps necessary to manage the migration of the following data contained within a user mail file:

  • Mail Messages

  • Message Attachments

  • Encrypted Messages

  • Folders and Sub-Folders

  • Single and Recurring Calendar Entries

  • Personal Contacts

  • Journal Entries (Notebook Entries)

  • To Do Entries

In addition, Migrator for Notes can also migrate the following items:

  • Local Mail Archives (using Archive Migrator for Notes)

  • Personal groups (in the user's mail file)

  • Mail-In Databases

  • Rooms and Resources

Migration

Once pre-migration activities are complete, migration can be queued for the selected databases from Migrator for Notes. The migration destination can be either an Exchange Server, Office 365 or .pst files.
