16 Chapter 2 Upgrading Mac OS X Server Version 10.3
Upgrading an Open Directory Master and Its Replicas
When the server you want to upgrade is an Open Directory master or replica, upgrade
the master then upgrade the replicas.
To upgrade the master and its replicas:
1 Upgrade the master to version 10.4 following the instructions later in this chapter.
While you’re upgrading the master, client computers won’t be able to connect to it for
Open Directory services. Clients may experience a delay while automatically finding the
nearest Open Directory replica server.
You can eliminate this delay by changing the DHCP service to use the address of an
Open Directory replica server if the server provides clients with an LDAP server address.
When the master upgrade is complete, you can change the DHCP service to use the
address of the master.
The Network services administration guide provides instructions for configuring LDAP
settings in DHCP service.
2 Upgrade each replica server to version 10.4.
3 Using Server Admin, connect to each replica server and reestablish the replicas.
For information about resetting passwords in the master, see “Directory Services” on
page 21.
