Migration Procedure
Chapter 6 Migrating from Previous Versions 77
3. Run the migration script.
As
root user (on UNIX) or administrator (on Windows), change directory to
serverRoot/bin/slapd/admin/bin. Then enter the following command:
On UNIX:
migrateInstance7 -D rootDN -w password -p port -o oldInstancePath -n
newInstancePath
On Windows (see also "Migrating Windows‚" on page 87):
perl migrateInstance7 -D rootDN -w password -p port -o
oldInstancePath -n newInstancePath -d "oldDataDirectoryPath"
where:
❍ rootDN is the Directory Server 7.x user DN with root permissions, such as
Directory Manager.
❍ password is the password for Directory Manager in Directory Server 7.x.
❍ port is the LDAP port number assigned to Directory Server 7.x.
❍ oldInstancePath is the path to the installation directory of the legacy Directory
Server (for example,
/usr/netscape/server6/slapd-serverID).
❍ newInstancePath is the path to the installation directory of Directory Server
7.x (for example,
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-serverID).
❍ oldDataDirectoryPath is the path to the stored directory data from the legacy
installation (for example,
c:\netscape\archives\ldif).
The following is an example of a command you would use on a UNIX machine
to migrate an instance of Directory Server 6.11 to Directory Server 7.0:
migrateInstance7 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -p 389
-o /usr/netscape/server611/slapd-phonebook
-n /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook
The following is an example of the same command on a Windows machine:
perl migrateInstance7 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -p
389
-o c:\netscape\server611\slapd-phonebook
-n c:\netscape\servers\slapd-phonebook
-d "c:\netscape\archives\ldif"
