Chapter 6 Migrating And Upgrading From Previous Versions; Migration Overview - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.1 Installation Manual

If you have a previous installation of Directory Server, depending on it's version,
you can migrate or upgrade to Netscape Directory Server 6.x. Migration refers to
the process of migrating Directory Server 4.x or 5.x files to Directory Server 6.x.
Upgrade refers to the process of updating Directory Server 6.0x files to Directory
Server 6.x.
This chapter covers the migration and upgrade processes in these sections:
• Migration Overview (page 75)
• Migration Prerequisites (page 76)
• Migration Procedure (page 79)
• Upgrading From Directory Server 6.0x Versions (page 94)
This chapter does not explain how to upgrade from Innosoft Distributed Directory
Server 4.5.1. That process is described in the Innosoft Distributed Directory Server
Transition Guide.

Migration Overview

Before you migrate your directory service, you should become familiar with the
new features offered in this release of the Directory Server.
The migration process is performed by running the
the system where your legacy Directory Server is installed. You must shut down
your directory service before running the migration script.
