Tiger Server Migration Guide
OK, "migration guide" might be a bit of a stretch. But it's a
Mac, and the server tools are beginning to follow that reputation.
1. Make a good backup somewhere that you can keep it for a while.
2. If going to new hardware, copy data partitions over. Be
sure to name them the same as the old hardware partitions.
3. Upgrade the 10.3 server to Tiger. (not a clean
install). There were a few things that didn't look right after
running this upgrade, so I wouldn't run the upgrade and then rely on
it, but this function should work fine.
4. In Server Admin, use the Archive button (or CLI command to do
the same--I don't know that yet) to create an archive of the entire
directory, password server, and Kerberos.
5a. If new hardware, clean install Tiger on it. Disconnect
the old server, connect the new server, and perform initial
configuration. Be sure to give it the same IP and name. Use
a portable disk (thumb or firewire drive) to move the archived
configuration to the new machine.
5b. If moving to Tiger on existing hardware, make sure your
archived information is in a safe place. Clean install Tiger,
perform initial configuration, then restore the archived information.
Configuration Note: Be sure your LDAP
context is set the same as the previous server if you have any 10.2.8
clients or have configured clients with a search base rather than
having them get it from the server. At KPS this means not accepting the default search base in 10.4 Server configuration.
6. Test, test, and test some more. This really shouldn't be
a big deal, but until the procedure has worked several times for you
personally, it's hard to stress this enough.
For another way to do this, read this great article on the AFP548 site. It doesn't require upgrading to 10.4 on the existing 10.3.9 setup, but it does require some command-line intervention instead.
