Yes, run the migrate script on the V4.1 server - it will create a directory
/usr/OV.back.v4r1. Copy (rdist) this directory to the new server. When you
install V5.1 it will recognize that directory /usr/OV.back.v4r1 exists and
do a migrate of all of your V4.1 goodies.
One word of caution - some of our 3rd party apps (specifically Foreview and
Transcend) put a lot of symbolic links in the /usr/OV tree (bitmaps, mibs,
etc.). The migrate will not suceed if the symbolic links are not resolved so
you either need to move the real files to your new server or delete the
symblic links in the /usr/OV.back.v4r1 tree.
Good luck. P.S. - you are going to like V5.1!
