4.3. Upgrading to Directory Server 8.2
Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems support an in-place upgrade when moving from Red Hat Directory
Server 8.1 to Red Hat Directory Server 8.2. T o do this:
IMPORTANT
If there are any duplicate entries (based on duplicate DNs), then the upgrade process makes a
copy of the database. It is possible, in an extreme case, that the upgraded database could be
twice the size of the original database, until the duplicate antries are resolved. As a precaution,
make sure there is enough disk space available for the upgrade, meaning that there is twice the
current database size available.
If there is not enough disk space available, the upgrade process files with the error message
Failed to back up backend instance '<instance_name>'.
1. Back up the current Directory Server. For example:
cd /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name
db2bak /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/bak/instance_name-
2009_04_30_16_27_56
2. Install or update the RPMs. For example:
yum update -y
This automatically updates the Red Hat Directory Server packages and all required packages.
Red Hat Directory Server 8.2 requires that all of the packages in the Red Hat Directory Server
channel be updated. Running simply yum update updates all Red Hat Directory Server and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux packages. To exclude packages from updating on your system, you can use
--exclude packages, restrict the update to only the Red Hat Directory Server channel, or
explicitly list the packages to update. Run m an yum for a list of options.
3. Re-run the setup script with the -u option.
setup-ds-admin.pl -u
This updates the settings automatically, without having to migrate or re-configure the server.
4. Restart the Directory Server.
service dirsrv restart
