Before Migration

Option Alternate Options Description

Table 8.1. migrate-ds-admin Options

migrate-ds-admin.plallows the password parameter to be provided on the command line, similar to the setup-ds-admin.plscript. The arguments set the section, parameter, and value of .inf parameters in the following form:

section.parameter=value

The only required argument is the Configuration Directory Server administrator password (ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd):

/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds

General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password

To avoid having this password in the clear on the command line, you can use a .inf file with the migration script that gives the administrator's password:

/usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds

--file=/export/example.inf

The .inf would have the following two lines:

[General]

ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password

The migration script takes all of the other settings from the old configuration files in the old server root, specified in --oldsroot. Any other argument passed in the command line or listed in an inf file, such as those used with the setup-ds-admin/plscript, is ignored. The Directory Server configuration parameters are only taken from the old instance. It is not possible to change the configuration settings, such as the hostname or port, using the migration script.
