Red Hat Directory Server B.08.00 for HP-UX Release Notes and Supplemental Instructions

A Migration Tools
This appendix provides information about the major options and arguments that the
migrate-ds-admin.pl and migrate-ds.pl tools support.
Major Options
The migrate-ds-admin.pl and migrate-ds.pl tools support the following major options:
--oldsroot -o
Required. If you migrate the legacy Directory Server 6.11, 6.21 or 7.1 to Directory Server 8.0
on the same system, this option specifies the path to the installation directory of the legacy
Directory Server 6.11, 6.21 or 7.1 (for example, /var/opt/netscape/servers is the path
to the installation directory of Directory Server 6.11 or 6.21, and
/var/opt/netscape/server7 is the path to the installation directory of Directory Server
7.1)
If you migrate the Directory Server to a different system, this option specifies the path to the
archived installation root directory files for the legacy Directory Server on the destination
system. For example, when you migrate the legacy Directory Server 6.11, 6.21 or 7.1 on an
HP 9000 system to Directory Server 8.0 on an HP Integrity system, this option specifies the
path to the archived installation root directory files for the legacy Directory Server 6.11, 6.21
or 7.1 on the HP Integrity system (the destination system). For example, /tmp/server7.
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
Required. This only applies to the migrate-ds-admin.pl tool. Specifies the password for
the configuration directory administrator of the legacy Directory Server 611, 6.21 or 7.1. The
default user name is admin.
To protect the password from being viewed on the command line, HP recommends that you
only supply this password in a .inf file with the migration script. For example, you can
provide the administrator's password in a .inf file, mysetup.inf. This .inf file contains
the following two lines:
[General]
ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd = password-value
--actualsroot -a
You must specify this option when you want to migrate from one system to another. The
usual case is that you have mounted the legacy server root on a different root directory, either
using a network mount, or by copying a tar-ball made on the source system to the destination
system and untarring it. This option specifies the actual path to the legacy Directory Server
6.11, 6.21 or 7.1 root directory on the source system. For examples,
/var/opt/netscape/servers for Directory Server 6.11 or 6.21 and
/var/opt/netscape/server7 for Directory Server 7.1.
--debug -d[ddd]
Optional. Turns on debugging information. For the -d flag, increasing the number of d's
increases the debug level.
--file=name -f name
Optional. Specifies the path and name of the .inf file to supply the default answers.
--keepcache -k
Optional. Do not delete the temporary .inf file generated by this program.
--instance -I
Optional. By default, migrate-ds-admin.pl migrates all Directory Server instances
configured. You can use this option to specify one or more instances to migrate (such as
--instance slapd-rhds1 -- instance slapd-rhds2) if you do not want to migrate
all of them.
