About migrate-ds-admin.pl
Description
This is used for migrating
between two machines to
specify the real path to the
current server root directory
in the old 6.x or 7.x Directory
Server installation if that
directory is mounted on a
networked drive or tarballed
and moved to a relative
directory. In that case, the
oldsroot parameter sets
the directory from which the
migration is run (such as
machine_new:/migrate/
opt/redhat-ds/), while
the actualsroot parameter
sets the server root, (/opt/
redhat-ds/).
This parameter specifies a
specific instance to migrate.
This parameter can be used
multiple time to migrate several
instances simultaneously. By
default, the migration script
migrates all Directory Server
instances on the machine.
This sets the path and name
of the .inf file provided
with the migration script.
The only parameter is the
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd
parameter, which is the
configuration directory
administrator's password. Any
other configuration setting is
ignored by the migration script.
This parameter is used when
the Directory Server is being
migrated from one machine
to another with a different
architecture. For cross-
platform migrations, only
certain data are migrated.
This migration action takes
database information exported
to LDIF and imports into the
new 8.0 databases. Changelog
information is not migrated. If
a supplier or hub is migrated,
