Description

 

 

 

 

 

General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=

password

Required. This is the

 

 

 

password for the

 

 

 

configuration directory

 

 

 

administrator of the old

 

 

 

Directory Server (the default

 

 

 

username is admin).

 

 

 

 

 

--oldsroot

-o

Required. This is the path to

 

 

 

the server root directory in the

 

 

 

old 6.x or 7.x Directory Server

 

 

 

installation. The default path

 

 

 

in 6.x and 7.x servers is

 

 

 

/opt/redhat-ds/.

 

 

 

 

 

--actualsroot

-a

This is used for migrating

 

 

 

between two machines to

 

 

 

specify the real path to the

 

 

 

current server root directory in

 

 

 

the old 6.x or 7.x Directory

 

 

 

Server installation if that

 

 

 

directory is mounted on a

 

 

 

networked drive or tarballed

 

 

 

and moved to a relative

 

 

 

directory. In that case, the

 

 

 

oldsroot parameter sets the

 

 

 

directory from which the

 

 

 

migration is run (such as

 

 

 

machine_new:/migrate/opt/redhat

-ds/),

 

 

while the actualsroot

 

 

 

parameter sets the server

 

 

 

root, (/opt/redhat-ds/).

 

 

 

 

 

--instance

-i

This parameter specifies a

 

 

 

specific instance to migrate.

 

 

 

This parameter can be used

 

 

 

multiple time to migrate

 

 

 

several instances

 

 

 

simultaneously. By default,

 

 

 

the migration script migrates

 

 

 

all Directory Server instances
