Migrating Replicated ServersThe process for migrating a replicated system is the same as for a single server, but the order inwhich the Directory Server instances is important to keep from interrupting replication. First migrateall master servers, then all hubs, and then all consumers. If any Directory Server the in replicatedsystem will be moved to a different machine or a different platform, use the --actualsroot and--cross parameters with migrate-ds-admin.pl, as described in Section 6.2.5, “Migrating aDirectory Server from One Machine to Another” and Section 6.2.6, “Migrating a Directory Server fromOne Platform to Another”.NOTEOn Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) machines, the migrate-ds-admin tool is in the/usr/sbin directory. On HP-UX machines, the migrate-ds-admin is in the /opt/dirsrv/sbin/ directory.To migrate a replicated site, do the following:1. Stop all old Directory Server instances and the Administration Server.2. Back up all the Directory Server user and configuration data.3. Stop directory writes to the master or hub server being migrated.
