Red Hat Directory Server B.08.00.02 for HP-UX Release Notes and Supplemental Instructions

2. Stop both the legacy Directory Server and the legacy Administrative Server (the existing
servers that you are going to migrate).
CAUTION: If you do not stop the legacy Directory Server instance before running the
migration script, the script might erroneously apply some configuration changes to the
legacy Directory Server instance instead of the new (Red Hat Directory Server 8.0) instance.
NOTE: The administrator password must not be expired when you run the migration
script. If you try to migrate the server with an expired password, the migration fails. To
correct this situation, log in as the Directory Manager in the Netscape or Red Hat Directory
Console and update your password.
3. If you are migrating all standalone Directory Server instances to Red Hat Directory Server
8.0 using migrate-ds.pl, skip this step.
Otherwise, define an .inf file, such as setup.inf, to supply the Configuration Directory
Server administrator's password. You specify the file name using the --file option in the
next step. The .inf file contains the password information as follows:
[General]
ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=passwd
