7.4.9. migrate-ds.pl
The
migrate-ds.pl
script is used to migrate a Directory Server 7.1 instance to Directory Server
8.1. Migration can happen between instances on on the same machine, on different machines, or on
different platforms.
IMPORTANT
Do
not
run
setup-ds-admin.pl
for the new Directory Server 8.1 instance before
running the migration script if you are migrating from a 7.1 server.
If you are upgrading from a Directory Server 8.0 server, do
not
run
migrate-ds.pl
. Run
setup-ds-admin.pl -u
instead.
NOTE
This script only migrates a Directory Server instance, not an Administration Server.
Information can be passed with the script or in an
.inf
file, same as the setup scripts.
Both the
.inf
parameters and command-line arguments are described in the silent configuration
section of the
Installation Guide
.
