lmu_upgrade

Purpose

The lmu_upgrade command is used to upgrade LAN Manager for HP-UX data files to the Advanced Server/9000 for HP-UX .

Syntax

lmu_upgrade [-ifile] [-YUGAynv]

where

-i file

Identifies the input file. If there is no entry, the system uses the following file: /var/opt/asu/lanman/datafiles/accounts.lm2.

-Y

Specifies that all users, groups, and access control entries should be upgraded and no routine questions are to be asked during the upgrade procedure. This option cannot be used with any other option except the -i and -v options.

-U -G -A

Specify that users (-U), groups (-G), and access control entries (-A) are to be upgraded. Any combination of these flags is valid. If multiple flags are specified, groups are updated first, followed by users, and then access control entries.
For example, if only users are specified, it is important that the groups were updated previously. Otherwise, group memberships for each user will not be preserved because the groups will not exist.
The same is true for access control entries. If a group, user, or access privilege already exists, the lmu_upgrade command will overwrite the existing information for that item with information from the input file.
If the server that being upgraded is a backup domain controller, only access control entries can be upgraded and therefore only the -A option can be specified.
Before upgrading each user, group, or access control entry, the lmu_upgrade command prompts you for the name of the object to be upgraded and asks you if you want to upgrade the object. You can reply y to upgrade or n to skip the object. If you skip an object, any subsequent objects that are dependent on it may not upgrade correctly. For example, membership in a skipped group or an access control entry may not be upgraded correctly when a user has been skipped.

-y

Used in conjunction with the -U, -G, and -A options, this option specifies that each upgrade prompt will be automatically answered as y. This option provides a visible log of upgrade activity.

-n

Used in conjunction with the -U, -G, and -A options, this option specifies that each upgrade prompt automatically answers as n. This option provides a visible log of what has been upgraded. No changes are made to the Advanced Server/9000 if this option is used.

-v

Specifies verbose output. Additional information about the upgrading of users, groups, and access control entries is displayed.

Comments

The lmu_upgrade command is used to upgrade LAN Manager for HP-UX data files to the Advanced Server. You can upgrade data files during installation of an Advanced Server/9000 or any time after installation.

The role of the LAN Manager user ADMIN is performed by Administrator in the Advanced Server. All access control entries for ADMIN will be upgraded to ADMIN (if that user is upgraded) and also upgraded to Administrator.

The GUEST privilege is updated as membership in the group Domain Guests.

LAN Manager privileges do not exist in the Advanced Server. Rather, user access is granted through membership in appropriate groups. Admin privilege is upgraded as membership in the Administrators local group.
