Table 8.1. migrate-ds-admin Options
migrate-ds-admin.pl allows the password parameter to be provided on the command line, similar
to the setup-ds-admin.pl script. The arguments set the section, parameter, and value of .inf
parameters in the following form:
section.parameter=value
The only required argument is the Configuration Directory Server administrator password
(ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd):
/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds
General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
To avoid having this password in the clear on the command line, you can use a .inf file with the
migration script that gives the administrator's password:
/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds --file=/export/example.inf
The .inf would have the following two lines:
[General]
ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password
The migration script takes all of the other settings from the old configuration files in the old server
root, specified in --oldsroot. Any other argument passed in the command line or listed in an inf
file, such as those used with the setup-ds-admin/pl script, is ignored. The Directory Server
configuration parameters are only taken from the old instance. It is not possible to change the
configuration settings, such as the hostname or port, using the migration script.

If this is not set, then the
migration information is written
to a temporary file, named /
tmp/migrateXXXXX.log.
To disable logging, set /dev/
null as the logfile.
