Migrating Directory Server Manually
If your deployment does not satisfy the requirements for automatic migration described in
“Deciding on Automatic or Manual Migration” on page 28 , you must migrate the servers
manually. This chapter describes the process for manual migration of each part of the server.
The chapter covers the following topics:
■ “Before You Start a Manual Migration” on page 37
■ “Migrating the Schema Manually” on page 38
■ “Migrating Configuration Data Manually” on page 38
■ “Migrating Security Settings Manually” on page 48
■ “Migrating User Data Manually” on page 49
■ “Migrating User Plug-Ins Manually” on page 50
■ “Tasks to be Performed After Manual Migration” on page 50
Before You Start a Manual Migration
Migrating an instance manually involves migrating each part of the server in the same order as
performed by the automatic migration tool (dsmig). In this section, old instance refers to the
version 5 instance and new instance refers to the 6.0 instance.
Before you start a manual migration, ensure that the following tasks have been performed:
■ Directory Server 6.0 software has been installed.
Directory Server 6.0 software can be installed on the same machine that holds the Directory
Server 5 instance, or on a different machine.
■ The new instance has been created.
The new instance can be created anywhere except for the exact location of the old instance.
The new instance can be installed on the same LDAP/LDAPS port or on a different port. If
you use different ports, any replication agreements to the new instance must be changed
accordingly.
