commdirmig Mandatory Options

Migration Type

commdirmig can migrate the LDAP directory directly to Schema 2, native mode, or through the intermediate stage—Schema 2, compatibility mode.

Use the -t option to specify the current schema version and mode (before the migration begins) and the version and mode to which commdirmig will migrate the schema. The -t option takes one of the following arguments:

• -t 1 specifies a migration from Schema 1 to Schema 2, native mode.

• -t 2 specifies a migration from Schema 1 to Schema 2, compatibility mode.

• -t 3 specifies a migration from Schema 2, compatibility mode to Schema 2, native mode.

-t is a required option.

Directory Server Access

During the migration, commdirmig updates Directory Server schema and configuration data for Schema 2 (compatibility or native mode).

Use the following options to specify the information commdirmig needs to gain access to the Directory Server:

• -D AuthenticationID specifies the login ID of the user authorized to run and modify the Directory Server.

• -w AuthenticationPasswordFile specifies an ASCII text file containing the password for the Directory Server login ID. For security, you can, for example, set the password file to be readable only by superuser (root).

• -X DirectoryServerHost specifies the host name of the Directory Server that manages the LDAP directory you are migrating.

• -p DirectoryServerPort specifies the port number for accessing the Directory Server.

• -b OSIRoot specifies the root suffix of the OSI (Organization) Tree in the LDAP directory.

• -r DCRoot specifies the root suffix of the DC Tree in the LDAP directory.

-D, -w, -X, -p, -b, and -r are required options.

When you run commdirmig for the first time, the -X, -p, -b, and -r options are saved in a configuration file, commdirmig-userprefs.properties. When you run commdirmig again, it uses the option values stored in the configuration file. For details, see commdirmig Configuration File.
