9.3. Migrating Internal Databases for 4.2 (SP 2)
Log into the Directory Server for the new Certificate System instance, and export the new internal database content to LDIF.
cd /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/db db2ldif -n server.example.com-rhpki-ca
The location and name of the LDIF file is shown once the conversion from the database to LDIF is complete.
ldif file:
/opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif/dated_#_file.ldif
Open the given location, and rename the LDIF file to new.ldif.
cd /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif mvdated_#_file.ldif new.ldif
The migration utility is available as an independent RPM, which can be downloaded through the Certificate System Red Hat Network channel. The migration utilities are installed in the directory /usr/share/rhpki/migrate.
cd /usr/share/rhpki
Package the the latest version of the Certificate System migration utility using zip or tar.
tar -cvf migrate.tar migrate
Regardless of the packaging tool used, the corresponding tool must be present on the old server machine. If the platforms are identical and the zip utility is used, copy the unzip utility to the directory so that the old_server_root/bin/cert/zip and unzip versions match.
Copy the package from the new server to the old server, and remove the package from the new server.
cp /usr/share/rhpki/migrate.tarold_server_root/bin/cert rm /usr/share/rhpki/migrate.tar
Log into the old server as the Certificate System user, and open the Certificate System bin/cert/ directory.
cdold_server_root/bin/cert
Log in as root, and set the file user and group to the Certificate System user and group.
su chownuser:groupmigrate.tar
Log out as root. As the Certificate System user, change the permissions on the files.
chmod 00600 migrate.tar
Unpackage the latest version of the migration utility using unzip or tar.
tar -xvf migrate.tar
Remove the package and any additional utilities, such as the unzip utility, that have been copied to the old Certificate System server.
rm migrate.tar
Export the database contents to LDIF using the db2ldif command.
cdold_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db2ldif
The location and name of the LDIF file is shown once the conversion from the database to LDIF is complete.
ldif file:old_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db/ldif/dated_#_file.ldif
Open the given location, and rename the LDIF file to old.ldif.
cdold_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db/ldif mvdated_#_file.ldif old.ldif
Adjust the LDIF content of old.ldif.
If using a text editor to perform the substitution instead of a script, be sure to use an editor that supports file sizes greater than 2 to 4 Gb, such as vim, because the LDIF files may be larger than 2 Gb in some deployments.
Delete the first two entries in old.ldif for the old machine domain name and the LDAP port and domain.
Entry 1: dc=cert,dc=redhat,dc=com Entry 2: cn=ldap://:38900,dc=cert,dc=redhat,dc=com
Replace the following entry with the value for internaldb.basedn parameter in the CS.cfg file. For example:
cn=aclResources,dc=server.example.com-rhpki-ca
Add new groups for the the security domains.
cn=Security Domain Administrators,ou=groups,basedncn=Enterprise CA Administrators,ou=groups,basedncn=Enterprise KRA Administrators,ou=groups,basedncn=Enterprise OCSP Administrators,ou=groups,basedncn=Enterprise TKS Administrators,ou=groups,basedncn=Enterprise TPS Administrators,ou=groups,basedn
Convert the old.ldif file to a text file.
Open the version to text directory in the migration directory.
cdold_server_root/bin/cert/migrate/42SP2ToTxt
Open the run.sh file, and uncomment and set the values for the following lines:
SERVER_ROOT=old_server_root
export SERVER_ROOT
INSTANCE=old_instance
export INSTANCE
Run run.sh, which converts the LDIF file to a text file.
run.shold_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db/ldif/old.ldif >old_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db/ldif/old.txt
Open the old LDIF directory, and copy the old.txt file to the new Certificate System server instance internal database LDIF directory.
cdold_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db/ldif cpold_server_root/slapd-old_instance-db/ldif/old.txt /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif
Log into the new server as the Certificate System user, and open the Certificate System ldif/ directory.
cd /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif
Log in as root, and set the file user and group to the Certificate System user and group.
su chownuser:groupold.txt
Log out as root. As the Certificate System user, change the permissions on the files.
chmod 00600 old.txt
Convert the old.txt file to LDIF.
Open the text to version directory in the migration directory.
cd /usr/share/rhpki/migrate/TxtTo72
Edit the run.sh file; uncomment and set the values for the following lines. For example:
SERVER_ROOT=/var/lib
export SERVER_ROOT
INSTANCE=rhpki-ca
export INSTANCE
Run the run.sh tool. The old.txt is directed to create old.ldif.
run.sh /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif/old.txt >
/opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif/old.ldif
Import the old.ldif LDIF file into the new Certificate System instance internal database.
Open the new Certificate System database directory.
cd /opt-redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/db
Import the LDIF into the database using the ldif2db utility.
The internal database name for the Certificate System instance is in the internaldb.database parameter in the CS.cfg file. For example:
ldif2db -n server.example.com-rhpki-ca
-i /opt/redhat-ds/slapd-DS-instance/ldif/old.ldif
Force the virtual list views (VLV) indexes to be re-indexed.
