Migration Procedure
90 Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide • October 2004
To migrate a Windows hub:
1. Archive the old Directory Server installation.
2. Create a data directory, and export all data to LDIF files in that directory by
running the
db2ldif -r option.
Do this separately for each instance of the old Directory Server. The data
directory should contain one LDIF file for each backend; for example,
userRoot.ldif, exampleRoot.ldif, and so on.
3. Uninstall the old Directory Server.
4. Install Directory Server 7.x, registering against the first supplier’s
configuration instance.
5. Run the migration script, following the instructions in "Migrating a Single
Instance‚" on page 88.
6. Once your hub is migrated, test replication to make sure that it is working
correctly.
7. After you finish this process for the first hub, repeat the steps for any
additional hubs.
To migrate a Windows consumer server:
1. Archive the old Directory Server installation.
2. Create a data directory, and export all data to LDIF files in that directory by
running the
db2ldif -r option.

directory should contain one LDIF file for each backend; for example,
userRoot.ldif, exampleRoot.ldif, and so on.
3. Uninstall the old Directory Server.
4. Install Directory Server 7.x, registering against the first supplier’s
configuration instance.
5. Run the migration script; see "Migrating a Single Instance‚" on page 88.
6. Once your consumer is migrated, test replication to make sure that it is
working correctly.
7. After you finish this process for the first consumer, repeat the steps for any
