Installation guide

For example:
# /usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot server2:/migration/opt/redhat-ds
--actualsroot /opt/redhat-ds
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
The migration process starts. The legacy Directory Server is migrated, and a new Directory
Server 8.0 instance is installed using the configuration information from the legacy Directory
Server.
4.4. Migrating a Directory Server from One Platform to Another
To migrate a Directory Server installation from one platform to another is similar to migrating
from one machine to another. The difference between a migration between platforms and other
migration scenarios is the information migrated from the old Directory Server. The databases
are in an architecture-dependent binary format and can be migrated only after they are exported
to LDIF. Other data, such as the changelog, is not migrated. As explained in Section 4.3,
“Migrating a Directory Server from One Machine to Another”, the migration script uses the
actualsroot and oldsroot parameters to migrate across machines and the cross parameter
to signal that the migration is cross-platform.
NOTE
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris machines, the migrate-ds-admin tool
is in the /usr/sbin/ directory. On HP-UX machines, the migrate-ds-admin is
in the /opt/dirsrv/sbin directory.
The command format to move from one platform to another is similar to the following:
# /usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --cross --oldsroot
server2:/migration/opt/redhat-ds
--actualroot /opt/redhat-ds General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
The migrate-ds-admin command automatically migrates every Directory Server instance
configured. As with migrating Directory Server on the same machine, using the instance
parameter allows you to set the specific instance to migrate. For example, this command
migrated a Directory Server instance named example:
/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot server2:/migration/opt/redhat-ds
--actualroot /opt/redhat-ds --instance example
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
Machine to Another
