MIgrating Directory Server 5.2 to a new server
I need to migrate DS 5.2 (Solaris 10 sparc) to another server. It is the Configuration and Master Server for the complete Communications Suite. The new server will have a completely different name and ip address. I have found the following docs/threads:
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=15&threadID=49957
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=15&threadID=93701
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-7603/6n9hnvfm2?a=view
However, I think each of these assume the name/ip will remain the same.
What is the recommened way to perform this change?
Thanks,
Pete

What version Messaging do you use?
There are three basic configs you need to change, BEFORE you move the DS, all in configutil
check the ldaphost settings for
ldaphost
ugldaphost
and there's also one for PAB
When you migrate, you need to also migrate the o=NetscapeRoot part of the Directory, as that's where the Messaging config is,.
I can't help with Calendar. I dont know enough about that.

I am using JES 2005Q4. So I am right in assuming that each componenet (MS, CS, AM, etc) will have its own migration procedures?
Thanks for the messaging info. You mentioned the PAB? One concern that I have is the psroot attribute within the user record. I am assuming that I will have to write a script to update this attribute as well.
Thanks,
Pete

Exactly so.
We may share an installer, but each product is somewhat different.
The next version of Messaging won't store any configuration in ldap, just flat files.

If it changes, then you might want to look at perldap.
