Before You Start a Manual Migration

Migrating an instance manually involves migrating each part of the server in the same order as performed by the automatic migration tool (dsmig). In this section, old instance refers to the version 5 instance and new instance refers to the 6.0 instance.

Before you start a manual migration, ensure that the following tasks have been performed:

■Directory Server 6.0 software has been installed.

Directory Server 6.0 software can be installed on the same machine that holds the Directory Server 5 instance, or on a different machine.

■The new instance has been created.

The new instance can be created anywhere except for the exact location of the old instance. The new instance can be installed on the same LDAP/LDAPS port or on a different port. If you use different ports, any replication agreements to the new instance must be changed accordingly.
