Upgrading refers to the process of installing Tivoli Directory Server version 6.3 so that you can preserve the data, changes that were made to the schema definitions, and directory server configuration of a directory server instance from an earlier version. Use the procedures in this chapter when you are upgrading an existing directory server instance from an earlier version of Tivoli Directory Server.
If your existing version is Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2, you can keep your existing Tivoli Directory Server version and also install Tivoli Directory Server 6.3. You can then upgrade any existing 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 directory server instances to 6.3 version using the idsimigr utility or by using the Instance Administration Tool (idsxinst GUI utility), and you can create new 6.3 directory server instances. Before performing migration of any existing 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 directory server instances to 6.3 version, you must backup the existing schema and configuration files and database to overcome any migration failures. You can continue to run your existing 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 directory server instances, and also run 6.3 directory server instances.
If you have a server from a version of Tivoli Directory Server that is earlier than 6.0, you must first upgrade it to Tivoli Directory Server version 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 before you can upgrade to the 6.3 version.
