Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.2 Installation Manual page 93

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 a Windows machine:
perl migrateInstance6 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -p 1389
-o c:\netscape\server4\slapd-phonebook
-n c:\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,

backend a different option was chosen: for
