7.4.10. migrate-ds-admin.pl

The migrate-ds-admin.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. This script migrates both the Directory Server instances and the
Administration Server for the 7.1 deployment.
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-
admin.pl. Run setup-ds-admin.pl -u instead.
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.
