Migration Procedure

4. Follow the prompts. For example, if you’re prompted to provide a path and
filename for your backup directory, enter one or accept the default.
The migration process starts. At the end of migration, your legacy Directory
Server is migrated. Additionally, as a result of this migration, a new Directory
Server 7.x instance is installed using the configuration information obtained
from your legacy Directory Server; the data from your old server is migrated
to the new server; and the new server is started.
A sample output showing migration of Directory Server 6.11 to Directory
Server 7.0 is provided below. Notice that the script detects three backends,
backend1, backend2, and userRoot, which exist in the legacy server as well
as in the new server instances. To demonstrate the various options, for each
backend a different option was chosen: for
backend1, the choice was to
continue with the migration and export processes; for
backend2, the choice
was to continue with the migration process only (without exporting); and, for
userRoot, the choice was to skip the migration process.
