6.3.3.1. Master Migration
Follow these steps for the first master, and then repeat the steps for the others, up to four masters.
1. Stop the 6.x Directory Server.
2. Install Directory Server 7.x.
Make this your configuration instance since it is not replicated. For the other masters, register
against the first master’s configuration instance.
3. Log into the Console, and create a new instance to which you are going to migrate.
This instance needs to be created to listen on the port that your standard access uses, which is
usually 389.
4. Next run the migration script, following the instructions in
Section 6.3.1 Migrating a Standalone Server.
5. Once your master is migrated, test replication to make sure that it is working correctly.
6. After you finish this process for the first master, repeat the steps for the other masters.
You may wish to set up multi-master replication for o=NetscapeRoot between the instances on the
masters.
6.3.3.2. Hub Migration
To migrate a 6.x hub:
1. Stop your Directory Server 6.x.
2. Install Directory Server 7.x, registering against the first master’s configuration instance.
3. Next run the migration script, following the instructions in
Section 6.3.1 Migrating a Standalone Server.
4. Once your hub is migrated, test replication to make sure that it is working correctly.
5. After you finish this process for the first hub, repeat the steps for any additional hubs.
6.3.3.3. Replica Migration
To migrate a 6.x replica server:
1. Stop the 6.x Directory Server.
2. Install Directory Server 7.x, registering against the first master’s configuration instance.
3. Run the migration script; refer to Section 6.3.1 Migrating a Standalone Server.
4. Once your replica is migrated, test replication to make sure that it is working correctly.
5. After you finish this process for the first replica, repeat the steps for any additional replicas.
