well, since i had SSL in the server, the admin server and the console 
communication between both, and when the servers were stopped, the setup-ds-
admin.pl couldn't connect to anything to do the upgrade and once i manually 
re-added (chkconfig --add dirsrv...) and restarted, the SSL issue with setup-
ds-admin.pl became a problem as i had to then uninstall certs just to 
reinstall them...  yuk!

but i'm not worried about the change between fedora-ds* and 389-ds* now as i 
removed all of fedora-ds* and installed fresh 389-ds* rpms and just simply 
started over.  -- i had just moved from OpenLDAP so that wasn't a big deal.

i also noticed last time that the setup-ds-admin.pl created duplicate 
instances of my servers in the console -- and i wasn't sure how to get rid of 
those which is also part of why i just "started over."

since i'm already using the renamed packages (the first round of them), i want 
to be sure i'm ok with a yum upgrade and that the proper procedure is to 
always run a setup-ds-admin.pl -u

due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501846, i now have standard 
ldap:// (instead of ldaps://) between the admin server and the ds so i should 
be able to avoid that issue.

i'm still learning this 389-ds, coming from OpenLDAP where i simply did an yum 
update and didn't need to do anything else :)

i guess, basically...  what does one do if the server stops and they are not 
able to run setup-ds-admin.pl?  is it safe to restart the server services and 
then try it again?
