Migrating Sun Java Directory Server to HP-UX Directory Server White Paper

migrated from SJDS (as described in the “Data migration” section), or data that has been exported

from another HPDS replica.

Note:

For synchronizing replicated HPDS instances, this white paper describes a

method that involves importing the LDIF. This method is the easiest and

most straightforward. There are two additional methods for initializing a

replica. Creating a backup of the database files of one replica using the

db2bak command, and installing those database files into another replica

using the bak2db command with the –n option. Additionally, by setting a

replication agreement to perform an online initialization, a replica can

initialize another replica. Both of these methods are described in the

HP-UX

Directory Server Administrator Guide in the section titled “Initializing

consumers”.

Both HPDS and SJDS use the same configuration elements for replication, but the administrator

interfaces differ. The SJDS administration interface performs much of the configuration in the

background; for example, it automatically creates a changelog configuration when a replication

agreement is added. In contrast, the HPDS administration interface requires creating a changelog

manually.

Note:

Although the replication agreements will be created at this point, the

replicas are not synchronized until the data migration is completed. Error

messages in the errors log will indicate that the replication protocol cannot

proceed, but those can be ignored for the moment.

For more information about these configuration steps, see the “Managing replication” chapter in the

HP-UX Directory Server Administrator Guide.
