Option Alternate Options Description
Table 8.1. migrate-ds-admin Options
migrate-ds-admin.pl allows the password parameter to be provided on the command line,
similar to the setup-ds-admin.pl script. The arguments set the section, parameter, and value
of .inf parameters in the following form:
section.parameter=value
The only required argument is the Configuration Directory Server administrator password
(ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd):
/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
To avoid having this password in the clear on the command line, you can use a .inf file with
the migration script that gives the administrator's password:
/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds
--file=/export/example.inf
The .inf would have the following two lines:
[General]
ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
The migration script takes all of the other settings from the old configuration files in the old
server root, specified in --oldsroot. Any other argument passed in the command line or listed
in an inf file, such as those used with the setup-ds-admin/pl script, is ignored. The Directory
Server configuration parameters are only taken from the old instance. It is not possible to
change the configuration settings, such as the hostname or port, using the migration script.
3. Before Migration
For the safety of the Directory Server data, do these things before beginning to migrate the
Directory Server instances:
