Installation guide

1. Stop all old Directory Server instances and the Administration Server.
2. Back up all the Directory Server user and configuration data.
3. On the machine where your legacy Directory Server is installed, install the Directory Server 8.0
packages.
IMPORTANT
Do not set up the new Directory Server instances with setup-ds-adm in.pl before
running the migration script.
4. Run the migration script, as root.
# /usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds/
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
/opt/redhat-ds/ is the directory where the old Directory Server is installed.
The migration process starts. T he legacy Directory Server is migrated, and a new Directory Server 8.0
instance is installed using the configuration information from the legacy Directory Server.
8.4.2. Migrating Replicated Servers
The process for migrating a replicated system is the same as for a single server, but the order in which
the Directory Server instances is important to keep from interrupting replication. First migrate all master
servers, then all hubs, and then all consumers. If any Directory Server the replicated system will be
moved to a different machine or a different platform, use the --actualsroot and --cross parameters
with m igrate-ds-adm in.pl, as described in Section 8.4.3, “Migrating a Directory Server from One
Machine to Another” and Section 8.4.4, “Migrating a Directory Server from One Platform to Another”.
NOTE
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris machines, the m igrate-ds-adm in tool is in the
/usr/sbin/ directory. On HP-UX machines, the m igrate-ds-adm in is in the
/opt/dirsrv/sbin/ directory.
