DHCP provides a utility to convert the DHCP configuration data from one data store to another data store. Several reasons might exist for converting to a new data store. For example, you might have more DHCP clients, requiring higher performance or higher capacity from the DHCP service. You also might want to share the DHCP server duties among multiple servers. See Choosing the DHCP Data Store for a comparison of the relative benefits and drawbacks of each type of data store.
The conversion utility is also useful for sites that are converting from a Sun provided data store to a third-party data store. The conversion utility looks up entries in the existing data store and adds new entries that contain the same data to the new data store. Data store access is implemented in separate modules for each data store. This modular approach enables the conversion utility to convert DHCP data from any data store format to any other data store format. Each data store must have a module that the DHCP service can use.
The data store conversion can be accomplished with DHCP Manager through the Data Store Conversion wizard, or with the dhcpconfig -C command.
The initial dialog box of the Data Store Conversion wizard is shown in the following figure.
Figure 14-19 Data Store Conversion Wizard Dialog Box in DHCP Manager
Before the conversion begins, you must specify whether to save the old data store's tables (dhcptab and network tables). The conversion utility then stops the DHCP server, converts the data store, and restarts the server when the conversion has completed successfully. If you did not specify to save the old tables, the utility deletes the tables after determining the conversion is successful. The process of converting can be time-consuming. The conversion runs in the background with a meter to inform you of its progress.
See How to Start and Stop DHCP Manager for information about DHCP Manager.
The Data Store Conversion wizard opens.
If you have trouble providing the requested information, click Help to view detailed information about each dialog box.
The DHCP server restarts when the conversion is complete. The server immediately uses the new data store.
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -C -r resource -p path
is the new data store type, such as SUNWbinfiles
is the path to the data, such as /var/dhcp
Note that if you want to keep the original data in the old data store after the conversion, specify the -k option. For example, to convert your data store to SUNWbinfiles and save the old data store, you would type:
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -C -r SUNWbinfiles -p /var/dhcp -k
See the dhcpconfig(1M) man page for more information about the dhcpconfig utility.
