shadowcvt will convert directory service information that is version 1
|
||
|
|
dirsrv format to version 5 dirsrv format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use this program correctly, you need to understand a bit about how
|
||
|
|
version 1 directory service information was stored.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SHADOW directory is P_SITE_DIRECTORY/P_SHADOW (or in P_FSHADOW)
|
||
|
|
(these are constants defined in "include/psite.h").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It contains a copy of the directory hierarchy for all directory
|
||
|
|
service information stored by the server that's not just taken
|
||
|
|
directly from the filesystem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It contains two types of files. One type is in dsdir format, and
|
||
|
|
contains contents listings for directories. The last component of
|
||
|
|
these files is always ".directory#contents". The other type is in
|
||
|
|
dsfile format. It contains attribute information for objects, including
|
||
|
|
forwarding pointers and attribute information for directories.
|
||
|
|
dsfile format was never written by the servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do the conversion:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cd to the 'server' directory in the prospero distribution and type
|
||
|
|
'make shadowcvt'. This will compile the executable program shadowcvt.
|
||
|
|
Now make it accessible to your shell under the name 'shadowcvt'. In my
|
||
|
|
environment, I would do this by typing:
|
||
|
|
alias shadowcvt $cwd/shadowcvt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run:
|
||
|
|
cd P_FSHADOW
|
||
|
|
find . -type f -print > /tmp/shadow.files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
grep -v /.directory#contents$ /tmp/shadow.files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any files that appear as a result of the grep operation are NOT
|
||
|
|
dsdir format files. They are presumably dsfile format. You will have
|
||
|
|
to manually convert them. Note that you will only have these files if
|
||
|
|
you manually created them in the first place, so you're presumably
|
||
|
|
already a Prospero wizard, and shouldn't have any problems dealing
|
||
|
|
with them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do the conversion itself:
|
||
|
|
cd P_SITE_DIRECTORY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
grep /.directory#contents$ /tmp/shadow.files \
|
||
|
|
| shadowcvt P_FSHADOW P_FSHADOW.v5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any of the .directory#contents files were malformed, you will get
|
||
|
|
error messages. You shouldn't get any error messages.
|
||
|
|
You will also get error messages if you made any EXTERNAL links to
|
||
|
|
files using access-methods other than Anonymous FTP. Such links will
|
||
|
|
be skipped, as will any line of the .directory#contents files that
|
||
|
|
yield error messages, and you'll have to manually convert them, but
|
||
|
|
the rest ofn the file will be converted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rename your shadow directory from P_FSHADOW to something else, like
|
||
|
|
P_FSHADOW.v1. As soon as you do this renaming, prospero requests
|
||
|
|
arriving to the old server will start to fail, so work quickly until
|
||
|
|
you reach the end of these instructions. Rename the new shadow
|
||
|
|
directory from P_FSHADOW.v5 to P_FSHADOW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Leave P_FSHADOW.v1 around as a backup for a while in case you need to
|
||
|
|
revert to Version 1 of the server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Manually kill the old (version 1) server. Now start and run the
|
||
|
|
version 5 server with "pstart". It is backwards compatible with
|
||
|
|
version 1 clients, so everything should work immediately.
