DHCP

Save the DHCP settings after running the following command from the Terminal application. This command writes the DHCP configuration record stored in NetInfo to a file named DHCPconfig:

nidump -r /config/dhcp . > DHCPconfig

Although Server Admin DHCP didn’t manage static bindings between IP addresses and Ethernet addresses in version 10.3, it does in version 10.4. So if you’ve manually configured some DHCP static bindings on your version 10.3 server, you can save them to a file for migration to version 10.4 by using this command:

nidump -r /machines . > Machinesconfig

User Data

Save any user data files you want to reuse, especially home directory folders.

QuickTime Streaming Server Files and Folders

Save files and folders in /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/.

For more information on migrating QTSS, see the QuickTime Streaming Server administration guide.

Step 3: Note current share points and privileges

If your version 10.2 server has share points and privileges you want to re-create on the version 10.4 server, make a note of them. Note which share points are for home directories.

Step 4: Copy archive files to the new server

Transfer the files you saved in Steps 1 and 2 to the version 10.4 server.

To transfer tar files or disk images using FTP:

1Use Server Admin on the new server to start FTP service.

2Set up sharing for a folder into which you’ll place files you transfer from the 10.2 computer.

3On the version 10.2 server, use FTP service to copy the tar files or disk images to the version 10.4 computer.

4Double-click a tar file to extract its contents. Double-click a disk image to mount it.

Step 5: Set up the home directory infrastructure

Set up the destination for home directories you want to restore.

The home directory location identified in imported user accounts must match the physical location of the restored home directories, including the share point location.

For detailed instructions on how to perform individual steps in the following procedure, see the user management guide.
