Upgrading a Primary Domain Controller

Install the Advanced Server/9000 product files as described in the section Loading Advanced Server/9000 Software in chapter one of this manual.

Run the utility to configure Advance Server/9000: /opt/asu/lanman/bin/asu_inst

The system begins the installation process which includes incorporating and updating the saved files and adding the server to the protocol stack.

The system displays the following message:

Advanced Server for UNIX provides a NETLOGON service which simplifies the administration of multiple servers. A single user accounts database can be shared by multiple servers grouped together into an administrative collection called a domain. Within a domain, each server has a designated role. A single server, called the primary domain controller, manages all changes to the user accounts database and automatically distributed those changes to other servers, called backup domain controllers, within the same domain. You may now supply a server name (the name which this server will be known on the network), the role that this server will perform in that domain (primary or backup), and a domain name. Enter the name of the server or press Enter to select 'uname':

Enter the name of the server or press ENTER to accept the default name. The default is the server name of the old LAN Manager 2.2 primary domain controller.

For more information about entering a server name, see "Before Installation" in Chapter 1 of this guide.

The system displays the following message:

Each server must be given a role in a domain. The possible roles are: primary domain controller: Administration server. Distributes user accounts information to backup domain controllers. Validates network logon requests. There can be only one primary domain controller per domain. backup domain controller: Receives user account information from the primary domain controller. Validates network logon requests and can be promoted to primary if the primary domain controller is not accessible. Enter role (primary or backup):

Type primary and press ENTER.

The system prompts you for the name of the domain.

Enter the name of the Advanced Server/9000 domain you want this server to join or press ENTER to accept the default, which is the old LAN Manager 2.2 domain. Then, confirm your choice of domain or change it when prompted.

	NOTE: Advanced Server/9000 and LAN Manager 2.2 servers currently cannot operate in the same domain. Therefore, do not select the same domain name as the old LAN Manager 2.2 domain unless all LAN Manager servers will be upgraded at the same time.

The system displays the following message and prompt:

This server will be the primary controller for the domain. An administrative account 'Administrator' will now be created for you to manage the domain. Enter the password for Administrator:

Enter a password for the Administrator account. Re-enter it when prompted.

For information about entering a password for the Administrator account, see "Data Needed during Installation" in Chapter 1 of this guide.

The system continues the installation process which includes creating a new user accounts database, a new access control list database, and a new share list file with the saved information. The maxauditlog and maxerrlog configuration parameters are removed from the lanman.ini file because they are not valid in the Advanced Server/9000 environment.

The system starts the Advanced Server/9000 and displays the following message:

Users, Groups, and Access Control Entries can be upgraded from the LAN Manager 2.x accounts file (/var/opt/lanman/datafiles/accounts.lmx). Do you want to upgrade now?

Type y and press ENTER.

	NOTE: If you type n, you need to run the lmu_upgrade program to upgrade your files after the server is installed. For information about the lmu_upgrade command, see the section in this chapter.

The system upgrades the files and displays the following messages:

Group 'USERS' will be mapped to the existing group 'Domain Users' Group 'ADMIN' will be mapped to the existing group 'Domain Admins' Group 'GUESTS' will be mapped to the existing group 'Domain Guests' User 'GUEST' will be mapped to the existing user 'Guest

The LAN Manager 2.2 accounts.lmx file is renamed accounts.lm2 in the Advanced Server/9000 and is stored in the /var/opt/lanman/datafiles directory. The system upgrades individual user accounts and access control lists. This process is not displayed on your monitor, but the changes are logged to the file /var/opt/asu/lanman/migrate/lmu/migr.log. It then starts the Advanced Server/9000 and sends mail to root which contains a listing of the available resources.

When you see the following message, the upgrade of the primary domain controller is complete:

The Advanced Server for UNIX Systems is now operational.
