Migration Directory server from Red Hat ES to Windows2003

Hello!
I have to migrate from Directory Server 6.0 on Linux Red Hat ES to Directory Server 6.2 on Microsoft Windows 2003.
Can I use dsmig utility?
Thanks!

I don't think that dsmig will work as it was designed for migrating from 5.2 to 6.x
But I think you can do it mostly with DSCC.
Install the DSEE 6.2 binaries, configure the Console and register the 6.0 instance in it.
Then create the new DS 6.2 instance with cloning the configuration. Data will need to be exported from the 6.0 and reimported in the 6.2.
Regards,
Ludovic.

Oracle 10gAS migration from Red Hat 4.0 SE to OEL 5.x

Hello Folks,
I am planning to migrate my Oracle 10gAS R2 (10.1.2.3) Infrastructure Tier on Server A (Red Hat 4) and
Middle Tier(Forms, Report, Discoverer) on Server B (Red Hat 4)
to Server C (Oracle Linux 5.7) and Server D (Oracle Linux 5.7) respectably.
Is it possible to use $OH/clone.pl in order to migrate Middle Tier?
I know that Infrastructure cannot be officially cloned
Is there any way to clone the infrastructure tier? ( or fresh install?)
However this is a just planning and I do not have any previous experience with this kind of migration
Would you guys please be able to give me an advice?
Any comments would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Cheers,

What are the components you have in Infra ? If OID is installed in infra, thats not possible to clone. You would have to set up a new environment and copy users, groups,etc.
That's what I have done numerous time.
However, if you just have OC4J and OHS, you could think of cloning.

Unable to Start/Stop Directory server from console

We have two Directory Server 5.2 installations with both running as masters with replication between them. One of them was installed with the admin server and the other without. On the one that was installed without the admin server we added it afterwards.
We now find that on the one that had the admin server installed after the directory server that we cannot start/stop the directory server from the server console nor can we view or access backups or logs from the console. The system does however create the log and backup files and we can start/stop it from the command line.
I read in a post somewhere that the admin server can be created with a different user from the directory server or with the same username but a different domain and wondered if that was the problem but have looked through the configuration files on both machines and haven't managed to spot a discrepancy.
Does anyone have any ideas where and what to check?
Thanks in advance.
Peter

Ah, I wouldn't have recognized this scenario if you didn't report the scrozzled user name. The "access denied" error happens for the simple reason that 'IAyjcJlYKL' is not a valid user in your domain. Fancy that. If you look in your config.xml for the "node-manager-username" element, you may find the value is encrypted, and probably is 'IAyjcJlYKL'.
It might be best if you filed a support case for this. I can make some guesses about what you should do, but it's just a guess. In any case, if you try fixing something, make a backup of the file first.
The two things you can try doing are (backup the files and shut down everything first):
* Edit the nm_password.properties file, replacing the one "hashed" line with two lines, setting the "username" property and the "password" property, both in cleartext. When the nodemanager starts up, it will replace those two lines with the "hashed" value.
* Edit the config.xml file, replacing the values in the "node-manager-username" and "node-manager-password-encrypted" elements with their cleartext versions.
Then start up the nodemanager and server.
I'm familiar with this because I saw this happen, and I'm trying to remember the strange thing we had to do. I worked this out with BEA support a while ago. If it helps, my case number was #796710.

PostgreSql JDBC from Red Hat Linux works on Windows not on Linux

I started using ODI from a Windows XP box in development and Beta, and was successfully connecting to and loading data from several different database platforms including a PostgreSql database. I copied the PostgreSql JDBC driver to the ODI drivers folder, set up the connection information and it worked. When I moved from Windows XP to "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)", I could no longer connect to this PostgreSql database. I put the same driver jar file "postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3.jar" in the drivers folder and used the same connection string. All of the other drivers (Oracle, MS SQL, etc.) in that driver folder work correctly on this Linux box. I can even tell ODI to connect to the PostgreSql through the agent on the Windows XP machine and it works. That suggests that the URL must be OK, but for some reason it can't connect from the Linux box. I also tried updating to the newest driver"postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc3.jar" with no success.
Any Ideas on what I may have missed?

Need to transfer/migrate production server from HP-Unix to SuseLinux 11.5

Background : We are having ECC 6.0 running on HP Unix
What we need to do : want to migrate the entire production application to a new server under o/s SuseLinux 11.5 certified by SAP AG
What we are doing : there is a utility called Software Developer Tool DRYRUN using this utility want to export application to storage and from store we shall restore the application into the new server under o/s SuseLinux 11.5
What error I am getting :
Sapinst could not find the required software logistics java libraries DIAGNOSTS. The global directory may not be available at u2018/usr/sap/fpp/flobalu2019 or its contain may not be up-to-date in addition the version of the SAP NetwWeaver java system might be lower than AP6. SOLUTION, Mound the global directory and/or apply the latest support package.
Using above method we could migrate development server to SuseLinux 11.5 successfully.
If I have posted this question on wrong forum pl. guide me
Thanks
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
Just to check with you, OS/DB migrations has to be performed following certain rules. HPUX is big endiand and Linux is little endian so an Heterogeneous system copy should be performed and theres only a few supported ways to perform the migration. Have you check that the usage of DRYRUN is ok and that your system will be supported after the migration?...

Running OEM Web Server on Red Hat AS

First of all, is such a thing even possible? I have seen conflicting reports that yes, you can run the console from a Unix/Linux environment if you have a Netscape browser, and no, you can't actually RUN the Web Browser from Linux (that only Win environments were supported).
So who is right? I know that the oem_webstage directory exists, and can rig it so that the emwebsite.html page shows up (essentially by putting all the forms in the htdocs folder), but I don't see any other way to configure it. I can also find no documentation on this on the web. Can anyone who has had experience with this tell me conclusively one way or another?
I am trying to run Netscape 7.1 on a Red Hat AS system, Oracle 9i. I want to be able to run OEM through the web browser. Sounds simple, but I have hit too many roadblocks.
Thanks in advance!!
--Jim

Yes. We do it here. You need a DB for the OEM repository, probably in it's own instance.
The standalone OEM and webserver ones are almost identical, but there's a few minor differences. (For example, standalone will allow you to add more than 1 DB with the same instance name, but webserver will not).

Migrating KMS server from one computer to another

Hi,
I would like to know how to migrate the KMS from one server to another. Thanks in advance

Steps to migrating the KMS:
1. Uninstall the KMS host key first by running the following command:
slmgr -upk
2. Then, install the default kms key by running the following command:
slmgr /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key]
The default KMS client setup keys can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303280.aspx
3. Delete the record from the DNS:
Open DNS console:
Expand _tcp node under the domain.com. There will be a record _VLMCS. Delete this record.
4. The KMS server is uninstalled.
5. To install KMS on a new server, enter:
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
then to activate the KMS host, enter:
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
6. After activation is complete, restart the Software Licensing Service.
7. Verify that the record is created for the new server in the DNS.
To verify that the KMS host is configured correctly, you can check the KMS count to see if it is increasing. Run slmgr.vbs /dli on the KMS host to obtain the current KMS count. You can also check the Key Management Service log in the Applications and Services Logs folder for 12290 events, which records activation requests from KMS clients. Each event displays the name of the computer and the time-stamp of an individual activation request.

Migrating DHCP Server From OpenSuse to Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

Hello,
I'm planning to migrate a DHCP server from OpenSuse to Windows Server 2008.
Is there any procedures for that ,Or should i configure my Windows server 2008 DHCP service again.
Thank you

Hi,
I have done somthing similar in the past. Basically i got exported all the scopes and settings from the linux dhcpd service, then created the scopes in Windows, stop linux dhcp service and start windows one. Use conflict detection setting to leverage any
IPs lease from linux server.
Hope it helps.

Up2date from red Hat to Oracle linux

Hello,
i am using Red Hat Enterprise linux release 3 update 7 and we bought network support from oracle and the minimum requires:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Oracle's up2date program will allow you to switch to ULN if you are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 8 or later.
Mine is update 7 so it does not work,
can someone has a work around for this problem.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks Ice for the reply.
i do not have support with RedHat anymore and Oracle came back and said update 7 would work also, but istill have problem and working with them now.
Thanks again
Tom

Flash Media Server for Red Hat EL 6

I have tried installinf FMS 4.0.2 on RHEL/CentOS 6 with no luck.
The installer complains about missing libcap. When I supress the check the installer warns about installation on an unsupported O/S.
Unfortunately, I can't it to work on CentOS 5. The log says:

Followed by many more edge failures.
Meanwhile the CentOS 5 installation works fine.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be or whether there is a workaround?
Thanks!

Thanks again to "r.circa" who came up with the original solution. Here are some updated instructions that don't require creating a symbolic link to fix the libcap issue.
I was able to get 4.5.4 working on RHEL 6.3. Here's what to do:
Update to latest errata with 'yum update'; reboot
Also make sure you have latest version of both libcap and compat-libcap1 packages (via yum update...)
Exract the latest FMS install archive (4.5.4 as of this writing).
In that folder, for a successful, error-free install you need to edit three files:
server
adminserver
installFMS
For 'server' and 'adminserver', edit these sections as follows:
# Red Hat Linux
if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
        cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux [WAE]S release 3" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL3-i686
        cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux [WAE]S release 4" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL4-i686
        cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL5-i686
        cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL5-i686
        cd_check "CentOS release 4" /etc/redhat-release centos-4-i686
        cd_check "CentOS release 5" /etc/redhat-release centos-5-i686
        DIST='RedHat'
        PSUEDONAME=`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed s/.*$// | sed s/$//`
        REV=`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed s/.*release\ // | sed s/\ .*//`
    DIST="${DIST} ${REV} ${PSUEDONAME}"
        cd_result $DIST
..and:
# check distribution

case $DISTRO in
    redhat-RHEL5-i686)
    redhat-RHEL6-i686)
    centos-5-i686)
    Debian)
Similarly, for installFMS edit these sections as follows:
# Red Hat Linux
if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux [WAE]S release 3" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL3-i686
cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux [WAE]S release 4" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL4-i686
cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL5-i686
cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL6-i686
cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL5-i686
cd_check "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 6" /etc/redhat-release redhat-RHEL6-i686
cd_check "CentOS release 4" /etc/redhat-release centos-4-i686
cd_check "CentOS release 5" /etc/redhat-release centos-5-i686

PSUEDONAME=`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed s/.*$// | sed s/$//`
REV=`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed s/.*release\ // | sed s/\ .*//`
    DIST="${DIST} ${REV} ${PSUEDONAME}"
cd_result $DIST
and...
# check distribution
PLATFORM="Linux"
DISTRO=`check_distro`
case $DISTRO in
    redhat-RHEL5-i686)
    redhat-RHEL6-i686)
    centos-5-i686)
        Debian)
run installFMS as normal and it should just work.
I hope that helps. I also hope Adobe starts to support RHEL 6 users. Seriously, how much effort would it take?
Best,
Daniel

Migrating Tiger Server from G5 to MacPro

I'm about to replace a PowerMac G5 server with a MacPro. The G5 is running 10.4.8 or so, and was installed from a Universal 10.4.7 DVD. The MacPro only has Client installed.
What's the easiest way to do the install?
I know I can export/import the user file, which is the most critical item in the process. But it would be fun to do something automatically. Last I checked there was no Migration Assistant like in Tiger Client. Ah well.
My current theory is to move the boot drive from the G5 to the MacPro. I know it won't boot (the silly GUID boot thing), but I might try Carbon Copy Cloner to move the drive data to the new boot drive. Will it boot? I dunno!
I'm surprised the migration guide doesn't say anything about this. I've done plenty of 10.3-10.4 upgrades and know that cold. So as I said, I know I can do it the old-fashioned way.

Mission accomplished. Here are the steps I took. There was one glitch, but workaround was easy.
I connected a spare external firewire drive to the G5. Partitioned it as GUID. Used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone to the G5's boot drive to the firewire drive.
Connected the firewire drive to the MacPro. Booted from it perfectly. So that answered one question I had - Server 10.4.7+ not only ships as Universal, but installs as Universal. Nifty.
I then cloned the Firewire drive to the MacPro's boot drive. Restarted, booted fine. Disconnected the firewire drive, which wasn't needed any more.
I wanted to check the various settings. Server Admin looked perfect. Workgroup Manager gave me an immediate problem - it refused to even open the LDAP connection, so it wouldn't even list the users (260 or so). Not good.
I went to the old server, opened Server Admin, and exported an archive of the Open Directory info (the server is an OD Master). I moved the archive to the new server on a USB flash drive.
On the new server, I changed the config from an OD master to a standalone, then back again (to clear the OD configuration). I then imported from the archive file.
I then went back to Workgroup Manager, and all users came up fine.
I then connected the data drives (four LaCie Biggest FW800 2TB drives). Everything works perfectly, including the network home directories. No other reconfiguration was necessary.

Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.

Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.

OR...
You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
Install new server as a replica of the old.
Replicate.
Configure new server as upstream server.
Point clients to new server.
Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)
