Automated Migration Using the dsmig
Command
Directory Server 6.0 provides a command-line migration tool to help you migrate from a
Directory Server 5.2 instance to a Directory Server 6.0 instance. You can only use the migration
tool if your deployment satises the requirements for automatic migration described in
“Deciding on Automatic or Manual Migration” on page 28.
The migration tool provides migration per instance. If several instances exist within the same
server root, the migration tool must be run for each individual instance.
This chapter explains how to use the migration tool and covers the following topics:

About the Automatic Migration Tool
The migration tool, dsmig, is delivered with the Directory Server 6.0 packages. When these
packages have been installed, dsmig is located in install-path/ds6/bin.
dsmig must be run on the machine on which the new Directory Server instance will be located.
When the command is run, a migration directory is created within the new instance directory
(new-instance-path/migration). This directory is a repository for data produced by the
migration, including log les and migration status les.
dsmig includes a set of sub-commands and options, that map to the individual migration steps
described in
“Outline of Migration Steps” on page 27. For information about the usage of
dsmig, see dsmig(1M).
