Are you moving any of the servers other than the one that contains
o=NetscapeRoot? If not, then you could try the following:<br>
1) export the o=NetscapeRoot (NetscapeRoot) database from the server
in net-a<br>
db2ldif -U -n NetscapeRoot -a /path/to/nsroot.ldif<br>
2) use perl/sed/awk/whatever you are most comfortable with to change
references to net-a to net-c in nsroot.ldif<br>
3) Create a suffix o=NetscapeRoot and database NetscapeRoot in the
server in net-c<br>
4) Import (initialize) the new o=NetscapeRoot with the old server
data<br>
<br>
Then, you'll have to edit the /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf in all
of your servers to change any references to net-a to net-c, then
restart the admin server (restart-ds-admin)<br>
<br>
Finally, you'll have to run ldapmodify on all of your servers
(except the one that has the new o=NetscapeRoot) to do something
like this:<br>
<br>
ldapmodify -x -h hostname -D "cn=directory manager" -W <<EOF<br>
dn: cn=Pass Through Authentication,cn=plugins,cn=config<br>
changetype: modify<br>
replace: nsslapd-pluginarg0<br>
nsslapd-pluginarg0:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ldap://hostname.of.new.server.in.net-c/o=NetscapeRoot">ldap://hostname.of.new.server.in.net-c/o=NetscapeRoot</a><br>
<br>
You'll have to restart the server in order for this change to take
effect, but if you don't want to manage the server via the console,
you don't have to restart it.<br>
