56 Chapter 6. Migrating from Previous Versions

6.3.4. Managing Console Failover

If you have a multi-master installation with o=NetscapeRoot replicated between your two masters,

server1 and server2, you can modify the Console on the second server (server2) so that it uses

server2’s instance instead of server1’s. (By default, writes with server2’s Console would be

made to server1 then replicated over.)

To accomplish this, you must:

1. Shut down the Administration Server and Directory Server.

2. Change these ﬁles to reﬂect server2’s values:

serverRoot/userdb/dbswitch.conf:directory default

ldap://configHostname:configPort/o%3DNetscapeRoot

serverRoot/admin-serv/config/adm.conf:ldapHost:configHostname

serverRoot/admin-serv/config/adm.conf:ldapPort:configPort

serverRoot/shared/config/dbswitch.conf:directory default

ldap://configHostname:configPort/o%3DNetscapeRoot

serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/dse.ldif:nsslapd-pluginarg0:

ldap://configHostname:configPort/o%3DnetscapeRoot

3. Turn off the Pass-through Authentication (PTA) Plug-in on server2 by editing its dse.ldif ﬁle.

a. In a text editor, open this ﬁle:

serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/dse.ldif

b. Locate the entry for the PTA plug-in:

dn: cn=Pass Through Authentication,cn=plugins,cn=config

c. Change nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on to nsslapd-pluginEnabled: off.

d. Restart the Directory Server and Administration Server.

6.4. Upgrading from Directory Server 7.x Versions

Instead of migrating the Directory Server, you can install an instance of Directory Server 7.1 on top

of the Directory Server 7.0 by installing Directory Server 7.1 into the same server root directory. This

updates all the server ﬁles while preserving your entries and custom schema. These sections explain

the upgrade process:

• Section 6.4.1 Before You Begin

• Section 6.4.2 Upgrading

• Section 6.4.3 After You Upgrade.
