96 NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Installation Guide
9.1.3 Supported Platforms
The eDirectory migration utility is designed to run on the Linux version of OES 2, which is the target
platform for migration. The following table lists the compatible eDirectory versions at source and the
corresponding target servers:
Table 9-1 eDirectory Versions at Source and Target Servers
9.1.4 Considerations
 IP address and DNS migrations are not performed by this migration utility.
 Only the eDirectory instance will be migrated. Applications depending on eDirectory will not be
migrated.
 You should not use this migration methodology if you want both the servers to be available
during the migration operation.
NOTE: Only the target server will be available after the migration.The source server will be
locked. Other service migrations cannot be performed after completing eDirectory migration.
9.2 Migration Tools
The eDirectory migration is performed independently of the OES migration framework. The
complete migration task is performed by invoking the migedir command line utility.
9.3 Migration Procedure
1 Run the migedir utility by entering the following command on the target server:
migedir -s <IP address> [-A <log directory name>] [-t] [-v] [-h]
The utility takes the following command line options:
