80 Chapter 7 Migrating From Mac OS X Server Version 1.2
QuickTime Streaming Server Files and Folders
Save files and folders in /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/.
For more information about migrating QTSS, see the QuickTime Streaming Server
administration guide.
Step 3: Note current share points and privileges
If your version 1.2 server has share points and privileges you want to re-create on the
new 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 10.4 server.
To transfer tar files 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 1.2
computer.
3 On the version 1.2 server, use FTP service to copy the tar files to the version 10.4
computer.
4 Double-click a tar file to extract its contents.
Step 5: Set up the home directory infrastructure
Set up the destination for home directories you want to restore.
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 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.
5 Optionally, define a preset that sets up default home directory settings for users.
You can also use the preset to specify other default settings you want imported users
to inherit, such as password validation settings, mail settings, and so forth.
