Migrating the Administration Server
You can only migrate individual server instances. You cannot migrate your
administration server. After you have migrated your
set up features such as distributed administration and clusters again in your
Enterprise Server 6.1 Administration Server.
When you migrate a server instance, you have the option of migrating user and
group information, which spans multiple server instances. Once you have
migrated user and group information or set up your 6.1 environment, you do not
need to migrate users and groups again. User and group information is contained
in the /server_root/
userdb/
You can also migrate keys and certificates.
Migrating User and Group Information
If you used the Directory Server, you do not need to do anything during the
migration process to migrate users and groups. After migrating, in the
Administration Server, on the Global Settings tab, use the Configure Directory
Service page to point to a Directory Server. You must use a 4.x or 6.1 Directory
Server.
Migrating Virtual Servers
iPlanet Web Server 4.x provided two methods for creating hardware virtual
servers: the object method and the virtual method. How hardware virtual server
information is migrated depends upon which method you used:
•
If your iPlanet Web Server 4.x hardware virtual servers were created using the
object method, these hardware virtual server settings are migrated from the
iPlanet Web Server 4.x
file.
•
If your iPlanet Web Server 4.x hardware virtual servers were created using the
virtual method, these hardware virtual server settings are migrated from the
iPlanet Web Server 4.x
file.
