Migrating a Standalone Server
Once you have backed up your critical configuration information, do the following
to migrate a server:
1.
Stop your legacy Directory Server.
If you do not stop the legacy Directory Server, the migration script does it
for you.
2.
On the machine where your legacy Directory Server is installed, install a
new, 6.x Directory Server.
The installation process is described in Chapter 2, “Using Express and Typical
Installation” or Chapter 4, “Silent Installation and Instance Creation.”
Use the same port numbers as your legacy production server if you want to
ensure that any directory clients that have static configuration information
(including Directory Server port numbers) will continue to work.
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:
migrateInstance6 -D rootDN -w password -p port -o oldInstancePath -n
newInstancePath
On Windows:
perl migrateInstance6 -D rootDN -w password -p port -o oldInstancePath -n
newInstancePath
