Step 1: Preparing the 6.x Server
Instance for Migration
Before migrating a Certificate System instance, back up the Certificate System instance. When
the backup process is complete, then stop the old Certificate System, Directory Server, and
Administration Server instances.
1. Stop all server instances running in the Certificate System, including all Certificate System
subsystems; the Directory Server, including all internal databases; and the Administration
Server instances on the local machine.
2. Run the backup facility (either the included Certificate Management System utility or a
commercial utility) to back up all data associated with the Certificate Management System
6.0x, 6.1, or 6.2 installation. For example, using the Certificate Management System utility:
cd /usr/netscape/servers/cert-instance
./cmsbackup
For more information on using the 6.x backup utility, see chapter 8, "Backing Up and
Restoring Data," in the Netscape Certificate Management System 6.x Command-Line Tools
Guide.
Additionally, RA subsystems in Certificate Management System 6.x cannot be migrated to
Certificate System 7.3. The RA subsystem was deprecated in Certificate Management System
7.0 and redesigned in Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 and is not compatible with 6.x versions of
the RA subsystem. To preserve the data in the RA subsystem, flush all data in RA request
queues by processing it on the CA subsystem. Then stop the RA subsystem and database so
that no further data can be gathered by it.
1. Stop the RA instance.
cd /usr/netscape/servers/cert-ra
./stop-cert
2. Stop the corresponding RA internal database instance.
cd /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-ra-db
./stop-slapd
