Migrating Your Sun Java System Directory Server

Schema changes were implemented between the release of Sun Java System Directory Server 5.1 (formerly Sun ONE Directory Server) and the release of Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2. The ldapaddent command now adds objectclass: device to the entries of ethers/bootparams. Therefore, if you choose to use the LDAP commands to migrate directory data from Sun Java System Directory Server 5.1 to 5.2, you must use ldapaddent -d to export data and ldapaddent to import data. Otherwise, if you use the Sun Java System Directory Server tools db2ldif and ldif2db to migrate data, you must apply Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 with all patches before migrating the data, or the data import could fail.

For information about configuring the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2, see the Sun Java System Directory Server documentation, that is included with the Sun Java Enterprise System.
