Moving LDAP from One System to Another System

Troubleshooting


Problem

This document explains how to move the LDAP configuration and data from one system to another.

Resolving The Problem

************** WARNING **************
This document assumes that the target machine does not have LDAP currently configured. If LDAP is currently configured on the target system please perform steps 1 - 6 ONLY of the following document (do not perform the reconfigure steps):

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/706539

************** WARNING **************


First, you should obtain the configuration from the IFS:

1.

On the source and target machines, run the following commands:
 

CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/LDAP)

CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/LDAP2)

CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/LDAP3)
2.

Run the following commands on the source machine:
 

SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/ldap.file') OBJ(('/qibm/userdata/os400/dirsrv/*' *INCLUDE))

SAVLIB LIB(QUSRDIRDB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/LDAP2)

SAVLIB LIB(QUSRDIRCF) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/LDAP3)
3. Move the SAVF's over to the target machine and confirm its contents with a DSPSAVF to verify that the data in the save file can be seen.

Note: You must use FTP in BIN mode for the SAVF.
4

Restore the data to the target machine with the following commands:

*Note The LDAP server should not be active when restoring the save file.
 

RST DEV('/qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/ldap.file') OBJ(('/qibm/userdata/os400/dirsrv/*' *INCLUDE))

RSTLIB SAVLIB(QUSRDIRDB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/LDAP2)

RSTLIB SAVLIB(QUSRDIRCF) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/LDAP3)
5.
Start the LDAP server with the following command:
 
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*DIRSRV)
