Migrating the Schema Manually

The old instance has been stopped correctly.
■
A disorderly shutdown of the old instance will cause problems during migration. Even if the
old and new instances are on different machines, the old instance must be stopped before
migration is started.
Migrating the Schema Manually
Directory Server 5 schema files are located in serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/schema.
Directory Server 6.0 schema files are located in instance-path/config/schema.
Directory Server 6.0 provides a new schema file, 00ds6pwp.ldif, that contains new password
policy attributes. In addition, certain configuration attributes have been added to 00core.ldif.
Apart from these files, the standard schema files provided with Directory Server 6.0 are identical
to those provided in version 5.
To migrate the schema, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the 99user.ldif file from the existing instance to the new instance. If you have
already added custom schema to the new instance, you will need to choose which version of
the custom schema to keep.
2. If you have defined custom schema in any other files, copy these files to the new instance.
3. Any fractional replication information must be redefined in the new instance.

Migrating Configuration Data Manually

Directory Server 5 configuration is specified in the file
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/dse.ldif. Directory Server 6.0 configuration is specified
in the file instance-path/config/dse.ldif.
If you are migrating from 5.1, you must migrate the configuration files manually. The easiest
way to do this is to run the migrateInstance5 migration script to produce a 5.2 configuration,
and then to migrate the 5.2 configuration using dsmig. For information on using
migrateInstance5, see the Directory Server 5.2 2005Q1 Installation and Migration Guide. For
information on using dsmig to migrate the configuration, see
Configuration Data" on page
The following section describes the specific configuration attributes that must be migrated from
the old instance to the new instance.

Migration of Specific Configuration Attributes

The values of the following attribute types must be migrated.
