I am looking at replacing our two CentOS DS servers which are 5.9 with some on the 6.4 channel. What is the best way to transition all the data over? Should I build them separately and import everything via ldif files, or can I add them as consumers or in our setup as another master in our MMR setup.

Chris,

what I've been expirencing until now, unless you replace the DS with exactly the same machine (name, ...)

Why?

you should try an LDIF export first and use a VirtualMachine to import your content to see any possible problems (schema violations,...)

Why not install the new servers on the new machines as replication masters and replicate the data to them?

you would also need to remove the replication later on (not only in the GUI, the DS keeps a lot of logs and traces for every replication you setup)

Yes, that's what CLEANALLRUV is for - http://port389.org/wiki/Howto:CLEANRUV

beside, I would also consider the ACL's an other Database related settings which will not be exported by a LDIF dump and will only be "copied" if you can use the Backup functionality.

?

for the consumer setup you would still need to extend the schema first if you customized it ...

Yes.

To add a little complexity I have also added some RADIUS attributes to the schema so I am assuming that, those will need to be added before I setup any replication.

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
