IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Upgrading using the command line and operating system utilities

To upgrade a directory server instance from version 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 to Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 using operating system utilities on AIX®, Linux, or Solaris system:

  1. Be sure that you have followed the instructions in Before you upgrade.
  2. Read and understand Considerations before you install on AIX, Linux, and Solaris systems.
  3. Stop the Tivoli® Directory Server instance and the administration server of the previous version.
  4. If the version is 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 do not uninstall Tivoli Directory Server or the upgrade will fail. If you want to uninstall Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2, you can do it after step 6.
  5. Install Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 using operating system utilities for your operating system. See one of the following chapters for information:
  6. Use the idsimigr command to migrate the schema and configuration files from the earlier releases to Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 version of these files and to create a Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 directory server instance with the upgraded information. This directory server instance is the upgraded version of your previous server. In the process, the idsdbmigr command is called and DB2® can be upgraded, or the database might be converted from a 32-bit to a 64-bit database if needed. (Database internal data migration occurs when the Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 directory server instance is started for the first time.)

    For example, you want to migrate a Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 instance, myinst, to Tivoli Directory Server 6.3, issue the following:

    idsimigr –I myinst

    For more detailed information about the idsimigr command, see the IBM Tivoli Directory Server Version 6.3 Command Reference.

    After you start the server for the first time, be sure to run a backup. (Database internal data migration occurs when the Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 directory server instance is started for the first time.) For information about backing up the directory server instance, see Backing up the directory server instance.
