HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 installation guide

option allows you to set the specific instance to migrate. For example, this command migrated
a Directory Server instance named example:
# /opt/dirsrv/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl \
--oldsroot /net/server2/migration/server7 \
--actualroot /var/opt/netscape/server7 --instance example \
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
The procedure follows:
1. Stop all Directory Server instances and the Administration Server.
2. Back up all the Directory Server user and configuration data.
3. Export all the database information to LDIF. The LDIF file must be named the name of the
database with .ldif appended. For example:
# cd /var/opt/netscape/server7/slapd-instance
# ./db2ldif -n userRoot -a /var/opt/netscape/server7/slapd-instance/db/userRoot.ldif
# ./db2ldif -n NetscapeRoot -a /var/opt/netscape/server7/slapd-instance/db/NetscapeRoot.ldif
4. Install the HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 package on the new machine that will host Directory
Server.
5. Make the old Directory Server accessible to the new machine, either through an NFS-mounted
drive or tarball.
6. Run the migration script as root. Specify the current physical location of the Directory
Server with the --oldsroot option and the location on the old machine with the
--actualsroot option.
IMPORTANT:
Do not set up the new Directory Server instances with setup-ds-admin.pl before running
the migration script.
For example:
# /opt/dirsrv/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --cross \
--oldsroot /net/server2/migration/server7 \
--actualsroot /var/opt/netscape/server7
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
The migration process starts. The legacy Directory Server is migrated, and a new Directory Server
8.1 instance is installed using the configuration information from the legacy Directory Server.
6.2 Upgrading from Red Hat Directory Server 8.0
The upgrade from Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 is automatically handled by a control script
included in the HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 product package. The upgrade replaces all product
files belonging to the old version with the files belonging to the 8.1 version, removes any files
belonging to the old version that are not used by the new version, and upgrades some of the
configuration data in the o=NetscapeRoot suffix to function correctly with the new version.
6.2.1 Backing up the Directory Server data and configuration prior to the upgrade
HP recommends that you back up your Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 configuration and data
before performing the upgrade to HP-UX Directory Server 8.1. If the upgrade encounters
unexpected problems, the backup ensures that you can recover by reverting to the 8.0 version.
To back up the configuration from the 8.0 installation, archive the contents of the /etc/opt/
dirsrv directory. For example:
# /opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/stop-slapd
# cd /etc/opt/dirsrv
# tar cvf /home/files/rhds80cfg.tar *
To back up the data from the 8.0 installation, run db2bak once for each Directory Server instance.
