Introduction This whitepaper describes how to migrate or upgrade to HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.05 from Netscape Directory Server 6.11 or 6.21, Red Hat Directory Server 7.1 or 8.0, or HP-UX directory Server 8.1. Migrating or Upgrading from Netscape or Red Hat Directory Server to HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.05 The migration to HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.05 from Netscape Directory Server 6.x, or from Red Hat Directory Server 7.x or 8.0 is a two-step process as follows: 1.

To restore HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.x, reinstall the HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.x product package. Stop the directory server instance, and extract the configuration data to /etc/opt/dirsrv directory, and run the bak2db command to restore the data. For example: # /opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/stop-slapd # cd /etc/opt/dirsrv # tar -xvf /home/files/hpds8103cfg.tar # /opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/bak2db \ /home/files/bak/slapd-instance_name Performing an Upgrade to HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.

Case-2: Ex: dc=example,dc=com In this case, replication works fine after migration. To ensure replication works in Case-1, see Upgrading Servers in Replication for suffix with spaces between the domain components. The process for upgrading servers in replication is the same as for a single server, but the order in which the Directory Server instances are upgraded is important to keep from interrupting the replication process.

. Create the replication agreement. For more details, see the HP-UX Directory Server Administrator Guide. 6. Test replication to make sure that it is working properly. Note If you enable new features like Syntax Validation Checking and Strict DN Syntax Enforcement that are released with HP-UX Directory Server 8.10.05, it may affect the existing data after migration. By default, these features are disabled.
