Overview of Directory Data on Solaris Platforms
When you upgrade from an earlier SRC or SDX release, you must migrate your current directories for the upgraded SRC release.
In this release, we provide procedures to migrate directory data for Sun ONE Directory Server (iPlanet) or DirX from an earlier SRC or SDX software release. If you use Oracle Internet Directory, see the documentation for that product for information about updating directory data.
Before you start the migration procedures, you must provide a new host machine for the new software. We refer to this host as the migration host. After you complete the migration procedure, you can transfer the new installation to the original host or use the migration host as your new deployment host.
The migration host must include the following features:
- Physical attributes, such as memory and CPU, equal to or greater than those available on the original host.
- A Solaris version compatible with the new SRC release.
- The Solaris patches appropriate to the Solaris version.
- The Python runtime environment appropriate to the SRC release from which you are migrating. This is the SMCpython package provided in the SRC software distribution for that release.
