Example: Detail Of Steps - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.0 Installation Manual

Migrating a Replicated Site
Upgrade 4.x consumer servers to Directory Server 6.0, and change their
3.
supplier server to be the Directory Server 6.0 that you configured in Step 1.
This Directory Server now acts as a hub supplier.
Retire the 4.x supplier.
4.
The Directory Server 6.0 that you configured in Step 1 is now the only supplier
in the topology.

Example: Detail of Steps

Consider a fairly simple replication topology:
• One supplier Server A
• Two consumer servers Server B and Server C
• Server A has a supplier-initiated replication agreement to Server B and to
Server C
• Servers A, B, and C are 4.0, 4.1, 4.11, 4.12, or 4.13 Directory Servers.
NOTE
To migrate this topology, follow these steps:
Install Directory Server 6.0 on a new server, Server D.
1.
Configure Server D for the role it will fulfill in the migrated replication
2.
topology, that is as a read-write replica that logs changes.
This procedure is explained in the Replication chapter in the Netscape Directory
Server Administrator's Guide.
Then configure Server D to be a legacy consumer.
3.
This procedure is explained in the Replication chapter in the Netscape Directory
Server Administrator's Guide.
Upgrade Server B to Directory Server 6.0, following the instructions given in
4.
the Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide.

You can migrate a topology where Server B and Server C have CIR
replication agreements with Server A. However, you cannot have
CIR agreements in the new replication environment because
Directory Server 6.0 does not support consumer-initiated
replication.
