6. Click Migrate.
The Migrate Server_name page appears. It shows the results of the migration, including
the parameters successfully migrated and the parameters that you need to migrate
manually. It also shows any features of your 4.x server that are not supported in 6.0.
7. Click Configure Migrated Server to configure your migrated server instance in the
Server Manger, or click Close to close the migration window.
The Migrate Server Page
When you migrate, you see a page (Migrate Server_name) that logs all the migration
information, including all errors encountered. You receive warnings for the features you
used in iPlanet Web Server 4.x that are not supported in iPlanet Web Server 6.0. The
migration program does not migrate entries in
obj.conf that are for obsolete features.
If you get fatal errors while migrating, the migration continues. The results page shows
what errors occurred an you can use this information to troubleshoot.
Migrating the Administration Server
You can only migrate individual server instances. You cannot migrate your administration
server. After you have migrated your iPlanet Web Server instances, you need to set up
features such as distributed administration and clusters again in your 6.0 Administration
Server.
When you migrate an iPlanet Web Server instance, you have the option of migrating user
and group information, which spans multiple server instances. Once you have migrated user
and group information or set up your 6.0 environment, you do not need to migrate users and
groups again. The user and group information is in the
/server_root/
userdb/server_name.ldif file.
You can also migrate keys and certificates.
Migrating User and Group Information
If you used the Directory Server, you do not need to do anything during the migration
process to migrate users and groups. After migrating, in the Administration Server, on the
Global Settings tab, use the Configure Directory Service page to point to a Directory
Server. You must use a 4.x or 6.0 Directory Server.
