Migration (Upgrade) from Netscape or Red Hat Directory Server to HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.04

#grep -E '^dn:\ cn=replica.*cn=.*cn=mapping\ tree.*cn=config' \
/etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/dse.ldif
Delete the cn=replica entry as show below:
#/opt/dirsrv/bin/ldapdelete -h <hostname> -p <port> -D \
"cn=directory manager" -w <password> 'cn=replica, cn="<suffix>",\
cn=mapping tree, cn=config'
3. Upgrade the directory server instance. For more information, see
Upgrading from HP-UX
Directory Server 8.10.X.
4. After migration, assign the role for all replicas. For more information, see the HP-UX Directory
Server Administrator Guide.
5. Create the replication agreement. For more details, see the HP-UX Directory Server
Administrator Guide.
6. Test replication to make sure that it is working properly.
Note
If you enable new features like
Syntax Validation Checking
and
Strict DN Syntax Enforcement
that are released
with HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.04, it may affect the existing data after migration. By default, these features are disabled.
Syntax Validation Checking feature checks the syntax of attributes during operations like ADD, MOD (add value), MOD
(replace value), MODRDN, and Import. If the existing data contain values with invalid syntax, a script is provided to audit the
existing data. For more information see Syntax Validation Checking and Strict DN Syntax Enforcement in the HP-UX Directory
Server Administrator Guide.
Old dn format including dn in the double quotes, for example: dn: cn="a=b,c=d,e=f",dc=example,dc=com are
currently rejected. To keep backward compatibility, old dn formats are supported in this release. With the new feature
Upgrade to new DN format
, the DNs are normalized and are stored in the backend. An upgrade will automatically
normalize and fix these values in the entire database.
