Migration considerations
Directory Server is automatically installed when you install i5/OS. The
first time the server is started, it automatically migrates any existing configuration
and data. This can cause a long delay before the server is started the first
time.
Note:
Migration of the configuration and schema files is done
during install and the first server startup. Once this first server startup
is completed, if the configuration and schema files in /qibm/userdata/os400/dirsrv
are restored from a backup of a previous release, the schema and configuration
for the new release will be overlaid with the previous release's files which
will not be migrated again. Restoring a previous release's schema and configuration
after migration has occurred may cause your server not to start as well as
other unpredictable errors. If a backup of the server configuration and schema
are desired, this data should be saved after the server has been successfully
started.
If you have a Directory Server running under V5R3 or V5R21, see Migrate to V5R4 from V5R3 or V5R2.
If you have a Directory Server running under V4R4, V4R5, or V5R1, you can
migrate your data to V5R4. For more information, see Migrate data from V4R4 ,V4R5, or V5R1 to V5R4.
If you have a network of replicating servers, see Migrating a network of replicating servers for
more information.
If you are using Kerberos, see Kerberos service name change.
