Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.8

Migrating to HP DCE 1.8

Migration Paths

HP DCE 1.8 supports two direct migration paths from HP-UX 10.20 and

11.0 to HP-UX 11i. Earlier versions of HP DCE that run on versions of

HP-UX before 10.20 can also be migrated to HP DCE 1.8, but not

directly. The direct migraton paths are listed in Table 2-1.

NOTE HP DCE 1.8 does not support direct migration from versions of HP DCE

that run on HP-UX 10.x (HP DCE 10.01, 10.10, and 10.30). However, you

can migrate from these versions by ﬁrst migrating to HP DCE 11.0 and

then migrating that system to HP DCE 1.8 on HP-UX 11i.

If you have HP DCE/9000 Version 1.5 or 1.7 installed, you can save your

existing cell conﬁguration and databases, install HP DCE/9000 Version

1.8, and then restore your former cell conﬁguration. Or, you can discard

your previous cell conﬁguration and database information, update your

systems to HP DCE 1.8, and conﬁgure a new cell from scratch. Both

procedures are detailed in this chapter.

NOTE HP DCE 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 do not support the Distributed File Service

(DFS). Therefore, if your earlier version of HP DCE had DFS installed

and conﬁgured, you will be notiﬁed during the HP DCE installation that

DFS is no longer supported and has been disabled. Do not migrate to HP

DCE 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 if you plan to support DFS.
