Chapter 6. Migrating from Previous Versions784. On the machine where your legacy Directory Server is installed, install the Directory Server 8.1packages.• Make the first migrated master the configuration instance since it is not replicated. Then, registerother master and hub servers with the first master Directory Servers configuration instance.• This instance needs to listen on your standard port, usually 389.5. Run the migration script, as root.IMPORTANTDo not set up the new Directory Server instances with setup-ds-admin.pl beforerunning the migration script.# /usr/sbin/migrate-ds-admin.pl --oldsroot /opt/redhat-ds/General.ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=password/opt/redhat-ds/ is the directory where the old Directory Server is installed.6. The migration process starts. The legacy Directory Server is migrated, and a new Directory Server8.1 instance is installed using the configuration information from the legacy Directory Server.7.

In this case, actualsroot names the original absoluteinstallation directory, which oldsroot gives the path to access that directory.NOTEIf the new machine has a different architecture than the old machine, such as moving fromi386 to x86_64, you must perform a cross platform migration, described in Section 6.2.6,
