[Fedora-directory-users] How to transfer existing server FDS

[Richard Hesse]

It pretty much confirms what we speculated; the script isn't checking for, nor creating the parent objects before trying to create the children:

+++check_and_add_entry: Entry not found cn=Fedora Directory Server, cn=Server Group, cn=aa0-002-6-v2.u.powerset.com, ou=sv.powerset.com, o=NetscapeRoot error No such object
+ERROR: adding an entry cn=Fedora Directory Server, cn=Server Group, cn=aa0-002-6-v2.u.powerset.com, ou=sv.powerset.com, o=NetscapeRoot failed, error: No such object
dn: cn=Fedora Directory Server, cn=Server Group, cn=aa0-002-6-v2.u.powerset.com, ou=sv.powerset.com, o=NetscapeRoot

That's the first operation after adding the SIE ACI's and a few monitor entries. Look at 10dsdata.ldif.tmpl and you'll see what we're talking about. It looks like this script and template were never tested in a clean build environment. I'm ok correcting that template file as long as I'm putting the right information in. Should I use the existing 1.04 entries as a guideline?

Whether I can in any way to transfer FDS on a new server with preservation of all adjustments. For example, make archive the catalogue /opt/fedora-fs on a "old" server. Then to install rpm (fedora-ds--1.0.4-1. FC6.i386.opt.rpm) on "new" server. And, at last, to unpack archive in /opt/fedora-fs on a "new" server.

If the hostname of the old server is the same as the new server, you can just archive /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv, /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-*, /opt/fedora-ds/clients/dsgw/context,
/opt/fedora-ds/clients/orgchart/config.txt, and unarchive them on the destination machine.
