Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.1 Installation Manual page 81

The following is an example of a command you would use on a UNIX machine
to migrate an instance of Directory Server 4.11 to Directory Server 6.x:
migrateInstance6 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -p 1389
-o /usr/netscape/server4/slapd-phonebook
-n /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook
The following is an example of the same command on an Windows machine:
perl migrateInstance6 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -p 1389
-o /usr/netscape/server4/slapd-phonebook
-n /usr/netscape/servers/slapd-phonebook
Follow the prompts. For example, if you're prompted to provide a path and
4.
filename for your backup directory, enter one or accept the default.
The migration process starts. At the end of migration, your legacy Directory
Server is migrated. Additionally, as a result of this migration: a new Directory
Server 6.x instance is installed using the configuration information obtained
from your legacy Directory Server; the data from your old server is migrated
to the new server; and the new server is started.
A sample output showing migration of Directory Server 5.0 to Directory Server
6.1 is provided below. Notice that the script detects three backends,
backend2
server instances. To demonstrate the various options, for each backend a
different option was chosen: for
migration and export processes; for
the migration process only (without exporting); and for
was to skip the migration process.
