OpenDJ Administration Guide
Chapter 24. Moving Servers

Procedure 24.2. To Move the Server

1. Move the contents of the server installation directory to the new location.

2. If you must change port numbers, edit the port numbers in config/config.ldif, carefully avoiding changing any whitespace or other lines in the file.

3. Change server certificates as described in the chapter on Changing Server Certificates.

4. Start the server.

   $ start-ds
   ... The Directory Server has started successfully

5. Enable and initialize replication.

   $ dsreplication
    enable
    --adminUID admin
    --bindPassword password
    --baseDN dc=example,dc=com
    --host1 opendj.example.com
    --port1 4444
    --bindDN1 "cn=Directory Manager"
    --bindPassword1 password
    --replicationPort1 8989
    --host2 opendj2.example.com
    --port2 4444
    --bindDN2 "cn=Directory Manager"
    --bindPassword2 password
    --replicationPort2 8989
    --trustAll
    --no-prompt
   
   Establishing connections ..... Done.
   Checking registration information ..... Done.
   Configuring Replication port on server opendj.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating remote references on server opendj2.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating replication configuration for baseDN dc=example,dc=com on server
    opendj.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating replication configuration for baseDN dc=example,dc=com on server
    opendj2.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating registration configuration on server
    opendj.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating registration configuration on server
    opendj2.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating replication configuration for baseDN cn=schema on server
    opendj.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Updating replication configuration for baseDN cn=schema on server
    opendj2.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Initializing registration information on server opendj.example.com:4444 with
    the contents of server opendj2.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   Initializing schema on server opendj2.example.com:4444 with the contents of
    server opendj.example.com:4444 ..... Done.
   
   Replication has been successfully enabled.  Note that for replication to work
    you must initialize the contents of the base DN's that are being replicated
    (use dsreplication initialize to do so).
   
   See /tmp/opends-replication-1476402020764482023.log for a detailed log of this
   operation.
   
   $ dsreplication
    pre-external-initialization
    --adminUID admin
    --bindPassword password
    --port 4444
    --baseDN dc=example,dc=com
    --trustAll
    --no-prompt
   
   Preparing base DN dc=example,dc=com to be initialized externally ..... Done.
   
   Now you can proceed to the initialization of the contents of the base DN's on
    all the replicated servers.  You can use the command import-ldif or the binary
    copy to do so.  You must use the same LDIF file or binary copy on each server.
   
   When the initialization is completed you must use the subcommand
    'post-external-initialization' for replication to work with the new base DN's
    contents.
   $ dsreplication
    post-external-initialization
    --adminUID admin
    --bindPassword password
    --port 4444
    --baseDN dc=example,dc=com
    --trustAll
    --no-prompt
   
   Updating replication information on base DN dc=example,dc=com ..... Done.
   
   Post initialization procedure completed successfully.

6. Accept updates from client applications.

   $ dsconfig
    set-global-configuration-prop
    --port 4444
    --hostname opendj.example.com
    --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager"
    --bindPassword password
    --set writability-mode:enabled
    --trustAll
    --no-prompt

7. Direct client applications to the server.
