To Upgrade Directory Proxy Server Instances

The following procedure is also valid for the following:

Upgrading native packages based instances on Solaris operating system to the zip distribution based instances on Solaris operating system.
Upgrading zip distribution based instances on Solaris operating system to the native packages based instances on Solaris operating system. In this case, step 2 is not applicable.
Upgrading native packages based instances on the platforms that are no more supported for native packages based distribution in this version. On such platforms, the instances must be upgraded to zip distribution based instances.

Install Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).

Before upgrading the version 6 instances created by using native packages, to the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) zip distribution instances, disable features specific to the native packages by using the version 6 native packages installation.
- If your instance is registered to start at boot, type the following command:
  $ ./dpadm autostart --off INSTANCE_PATH
- If your instance is registered as a Windows service, type the following command:
  $ ./dpadm disable-service --type WIN_SERVICE INSTANCE_PATH
- If your instance is registered as an SMF service, type the following command:
  $ ./dpadm disable-service --type SMF INSTANCE_PATH

Type the following command from the version 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) installation to upgrade the Directory Proxy Server instances.

$ ./dpadm upgrade -i INSTANCE_PATH

For example, to upgrade the /local/example instance, type the following command:

# ./dpadm upgrade -i /local/example
Directory Proxy Server instance '/local/example' will be upgraded to version 7.
It will no longer be usable with DSEE 6 commands.

Upgrading conf.ldif ...
Old version of conf.ldif has been moved into '/local/example/bak/2009-08-25-11-09-06'.
Directory Proxy Server instance '/local/example' is now ready to be used 
with DSEE 7 commands.

Note –

After upgrading to version 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), the following version 6 behavior is preserved.

To retain the pattern matching distribution algorithm version 6 behavior, the compat-flag Directory Proxy Server configuration property is set to pattern-matching-also-6. To check the value of compat-flag, refer to the following command:

$ dpconf get-server-prop -p port compat-flag

For more information about the compat-flag property, see compat-flag(5dpconf).

Upgrade all the Directory Proxy Server instances that you want to use with the version 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), by using the dpadm upgrade command.

Note –

The legacy instances once upgraded cannot be restored to its previous installation.

The following dpadm commands do not require legacy instances to be upgraded before using them.

     - info
     - stop
     - disable-service
     - autostart --off
     - get-flags / set-flags
