25.2 Migrating FTP to OES 11 SP3

This section describes how to migrate FTP from an OES 2 SP3 or OES 11 environment to OES 11 SP3.

Before you proceed with the migration, review Section 25.2.1, Prerequisites. In this section, the source server refers to an OES 2 SP3 or OES 11 server and the target server refers to an OES 11 SP3 server.

25.2.1 Prerequisites

Ensure that the OES 11 server is already installed along with the Novell FTP pattern on the target server. For more information, see Installing Pure-FTPd in the OES 11 SP3: Planning and Implementation Guide.

25.2.2 What Is Migrated

Configuration file and script

25.2.3 Migration Procedure

Same Tree Migrations with Identity Transfer

Perform the following procedures on the target server:

Copy the /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf file from the source server.

NOTE:If the migration is being performed on a cluster setup, copy the pure-ftpd.conf file on the shared volume of the cluster.
Run the /opt/novell/pure-ftpd/novell-pure-ftpd-config.sh script. This will update the pure-ftpd.conf file with the new parameters added in OES 11 SP3.
Remove the LD_PRELOAD statement from the /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd file, if present.
Restart pure-ftpd using the rcpure-ftpd restart command.

Same Tree Migrations without Identity Transfer

Execute steps Step 1 to Step 3 in the previous section.
Update the IP address of the target server for ForcePassiveIP and Bind parameters in the pure-ftpd.conf file.
Update DefaultHomeDirectoryServer if it refers to the IP of the source server.
