From time to time you might change server hardware, file system layout, or host names. At those times you move the services running on the system. You can move OpenDJ data between servers and operating systems. Most of the configuration is also portable.
Two aspects of the configuration are not portable.
-
Server certificates contain the host name of the system. Even if you did not set up secure communications when you installed the server, the server still has a certificate used for secure communications on the administrative port.
To resolve the issue with server certificates, you can change the server certificates during the move as described in this chapter.
-
Replication configuration includes the host name and administrative port numbers.
You can work around the issue with replication configuration by disabling replication for the server before the move, and then enabling and initializing replication again after the move.
