# /usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --cross --oldsroot server2:/migration/opt/redhat-

--actualsroot /opt/redhat-ds General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password

The m igrate-ds-adm in 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 exam ple:

/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot server2:/migration/opt/redhat-ds

--actualsroot /opt/redhat-ds --instance exam ple

General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password

1. Stop all Directory Server instances and the Administration Server.

2. Back up all the Directory Server user and configuration data.

3. Export all of the database information to LDIF. The LDIF file must be named the name of the

database with .ldif appended. For example:

cd /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-instance

./db2ldif -n userRoot -a /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-instance/db/userRoot.ldif

./db2ldif -n NetscapeRoot -a /opt/redhat-

ds/slapd-instance/db/NetscapeRoot.ldif

4. Install the Directory Server 8.0 packages on the new machine which will host Directory Server.

5. Make the old Directory Server accessible to the new machine, either through an NFS-mounted

drive or tarball.

6. Run the migration script as root. Specify the current physical location of the Directory Server with

the oldsroot parameter and the location on the old machine with the actualsroot parameter.

IMPORTANT

Do not set up the new Directory Server instances with setup-ds-adm in.pl before

running the migration script.

For example:

/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --cross --oldsroot

server2:/migration/opt/redhat-ds

--actualsroot /opt/redhat-ds General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password

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.
