D Server Conﬁguration Migration

There is a host of conﬁguration migration utility available now. If you

want to convert 4.x named.boot ﬁles to 8.x named.conf ﬁles, there is

a perl script, named-bootconf.pl available on the system. This perl

script ﬁle resides in /BIND/PUB/bin directory.

Explanation of conﬁguration migration utilities;

The named-bootconf.pl is a perl script. Perl is a scripting language,

like a shell script, it runs under an interpreter environment on MPE.

The interpreter is a shareware, we require the Perl version 5 as the

interpreter. The binary ﬁle for Perl version 5 can be downloaded from

http://jazz.external.hp.com.

“Perl” is packaged as a mover archive. This has to be installed on the

MPE machine. “Mover” is a archiving program which is available on

http://jazz.external.hp.com. “Mover” will unarchive the “perl”

package which is in mover formal and install at the correct place. One

has to log on as MANAGER.SYS to do this. The ﬁles are stored in

/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib/perl5 interpreter.
