Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

--file=name

-fname

 

This sets the path and name

 

 

 

 

of the .inf file provided with

 

 

 

 

the migration script. The only

 

 

 

 

parameter is the

 

 

 

 

General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd

 

 

 

 

parameter, which is the

 

 

 

 

configuration directory

 

 

 

 

administrator's password. Any

 

 

 

 

other configuration setting is

 

 

 

 

ignored by the migration

 

 

 

 

script.

 

 

 

 

 

 

--cross

-c or -x

 

This parameter is used when

 

 

 

 

the Directory Server is being

 

 

 

 

migrated from one machine to

 

 

 

 

another with a different

 

 

 

 

architecture. For

 

 

 

 

cross-platform migrations,

 

 

 

 

only certain data are

 

 

 

 

migrated. This migration

 

 

 

 

action takes database

 

 

 

 

information exported to LDIF

 

 

 

 

and imports into the new 8.0

 

 

 

 

databases. Changelog

 

 

 

 

information is not migrated. If

 

 

 

 

a supplier or hub is migrated,

 

 

 

 

then all its replicas must be

 

 

 

 

reinitialized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

--debug

-d[dddd]

 

This parameter turns on

 

 

 

 

debugging information. For

 

 

 

 

the -dflag, increasing the

 

 

 

 

number of d's increases the

 

 

 

 

debug level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

--logfile name

-l

 

This parameter specifies a log

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

file to which to write the

 

 

 

 

output. If this is not set, then

 

 

 

 

the migration information is

 

 

 

 

written to a temporary file,

 

 

 

 

named

 

 

 

 

/tmp/migrateXXXXX.log.

 

 

 

 

To disable logging, set

 

 

 

 

/dev/null as the logfile.
