1This option is only available if you choose to register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory Server.

2This option is only available if you choose not to register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory Server. In that case, the Directory Server being set up is created and configured as a Configuration Directory Server, using the Configuration Directory Server name and password that you specify.

3.6.4Performing express setup

Use express installation if you are installing Directory Server for an evaluation or trial. Because express installation does not offer the choice of selecting the Directory Server server port number or the directory suffix, among other settings, HP recommends not using it for production deployments.

CAUTION: If a Directory Server (notably Netscape Directory Server 6.21 or Red Hat Directory Server 7.1) is already installed on your machine, it is extremely important that you perform a migration, not a fresh installation. Migration is described in Chapter 6 “Migrating or upgrading to HP-UX Directory Server from Netscape or Red Hat Directory Server”.

NOTE:

The setup script gets the host information from the /etc/resolv.conf file. If the /etc/hosts file includes aliases (such as ldap.example.com) that do not match the /etc/resolv.conf settings, the setup script cannot use the default host name option, and setup will fail.

1.Launch the setup-ds-admin.plscript using the following command.

NOTE:

Run the setup-ds-admin.pl script as root.# /opt/dirsrv/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl2.When asked to choose the setup type, enter 1 to perform an express setup.
