Migrate-Ds.pl - Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.1 Command Reference Manual

7.4.9. migrate-ds.pl

The migrate-ds.pl script is used to migrate a Directory Server 7.1 instance to Directory Server
8.1. Migration can happen between instances on on the same machine, on different machines, or on
different platforms.
IMPORTANT
Do not run setup-ds-admin.pl for the new Directory Server 8.1 instance before
running the migration script if you are migrating from a 7.1 server.
If you are upgrading from a Directory Server 8.0 server, do not run migrate-ds.pl. Run
setup-ds-admin.pl -u instead.
NOTE
This script only migrates a Directory Server instance, not an Administration Server.
Information can be passed with the script or in an .inf file, same as the setup scripts.
Both the .inf parameters and command-line arguments are described in the silent configuration
section of the Installation Guide.
