Migrating a 5.x Replicated Site

If you are upgrading from Directory Server 5.x to Directory Server 6.x, your
replication configuration is automatically migrated when you run the
script.

To migrate a 5.x replicated site:
Stop your Directory Server 5.x.
1.
Install Directory Server 6.x.
2.
Run the migration script as shown in section "Migrating a Standalone Server,"

on page 80.
Once your 5.x server is migrated, test replication and make sure it is working

correctly.
After you finish this process for the master, repeat the steps for the consumers.

Migrating a 5.x Multi-Master Deployment

This section explains how to migrate a live multi master replication (MMR)
architecture built using Directory Server 5.x to Directory Server 6.x in a production
environment. The procedure outlined here ensures that your environment will stay
live and no re-initialization will be needed.
The instructions are written with these assumptions:
• Your deployment consists of separate configuration and standard access
instances of Directory Server.
• You are upgrading to Directory Server 6.1.
The migration process can be summarized into these steps:
Stop directory writes on both masters.
1.
It is imperative that there are no entries being written or changed on the
masters during the migration. After both the masters are migrated, writes can
resume.
After stopping provisioning, make sure all changes have been replicated from
2.
the server to migrate to all of its consumers.
Any changes left over in the
sure all changes in the
will be lost after migration, so make

have been replicated to all consumers.
