Migrating User Data Manually
If your topology does not support automatic data migration, you must migrate the data
manually. This involves exporting the data from the existing instance and re-importing it to the
new instance.
To migrate data manually from an existing version 5 instance, perform the following steps:
1. If you already have data in the new instance, back up any conicting suxes in the new
instance.
2. If you are migrating a master server instance in a replicated topology, make sure that the
master is synchronized with all servers that are direct consumers of that master.
It is not possible to migrate the change log manually. A new change log is created in the 6.0
instance.
3. Export the required suxes to LDIF by using the db2ldif command. This command
exports all the sux contents to an LDIF le, when the server is either running or stopped.
The following example exports two suxes to a single LDIF le.
$ serverRoot/slapd-serverID/db2ldif -a example.ldif \
-r -s "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -s "ou=departments,dc=example,dc=com"
In this example, -a species the resulting LDIF le, -r indicates that replication information
should be exported, and -s species the suxes to be included in the export.
4. On the new instance, import the LDIF les by using the dsadm import command. For
example, the following commands import the LDIF le created previously into the two
suxes that were exported.
$ dsadm import instance-path example.ldif ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
$ dsadm import instance-path example.ldif ou=departments,dc=example,dc=com
5. If the retro change log was congured on the 5.2 instance, export the retro change log to
LDIF by using the db2ldif command.
$ serverRoot/slapd-serverID/db2ldif -a changelog.ldif \
-s "cn=changelog"
In this example, -a species the resulting LDIF le, and -s species the changelog sux.
6. On the new instance, import the retro change log using the dsadm import command. For
example, the following command imports the change log LDIF le created previously.
$ dsadm import instance-path changelog.ldif cn=changelog
7. Start the new instance.
