Migration Procedures

HP highly recommends that you do a system backup before starting to do

an update.

Migrating a System Without Retaining Cell Conﬁguration

If you are migrating an HP DCE 1.7 server on HP-UX 11.0 to HP DCE

1.8 on HP-UX 11i, but you do not want to preserve your existing cell

conﬁguration:

1. Stop the cell using dce_conﬁg STOP at each cell member or run

DCM from SAM to stop the entire cell.

2. Use dce_conﬁg REMOVE or run the DCM from SAM to remove the

cell databases.

3. Upgrade the system from HP-UX 11.0 to HP-UX 11i.

4. Install HP DCE 1.8 software as described in Chapter 4, and

reconﬁgure DCE.

Migrating a System and Preserving Current Cell Conﬁguration

If you are migrating an HP DCE 1.7 server on HP-UX 11.0 to HP DCE

1.8 on HP-UX 11i, and you want to preserve your existing cell

conﬁguration, perform the following steps:

1. If you are migrating a security server system, stop secd using the

dcecp -c registry stop

replica-name

command.

2. Stop DCE on the system, using the dce_conﬁg STOP command from

the main menu; DFS will not run on HP DCE 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8; if DFS is

running, ignore any warnings concerning running processes.
