30 Chapter 2 Migrating From Mac OS X Server Version 10.2
Step 3: Note current share points and privileges
If your version 10.2 server has share points and privileges you want to re-create on the
version 10.3 server, make a note of them. Note which share points are for home
directories.
Step 4: Copy archive files to the new server
Transfer the files you saved in steps 1 and 2 to the version 10.3 server.
To transfer tar files or disk images using FTP:
1 Use Server Admin on the new server to start FTP service.
2 Set up sharing for a folder into which you’ll place files you transfer from the 10.2
computer.
3 On the version 10.2 server, use FTP service to copy the tar files or disk images to the
version 10.3 computer.
4 Double-click a tar file to extract its contents. Double-click a disk image to mount it.
Step 5: Set up the home directory infrastructure
Set up the destination for home directories you want to restore.
The home directory location identified in imported user accounts must match the
physical location of the restored home directories, including the share point location.
For detailed instructions on how to perform individual steps in the following
procedure, see the user management guide.
To prepare the server to store home directories:
1 Create the folder you want to serve as the home directory share point, if required. You
can use the predefined /Users folder, if you like.
2 Open Workgroup Manager on the server where you want the home directories to
reside.
3 Click Sharing to set up a share point for the home directories.
If the user accounts will reside in a shared Open Directory directory, create a
dynamically automounted AFP or NFS share point for the home directories. Make sure
the share point is published in the directory where the user accounts that depend on it
will reside.
4 In Workgroup Manager on the computer from which you’ll import users, click Accounts,
then open the directory into which you’ll import users.
