The following sections describe how to migrate from previous
versions of BIND to BIND 9.2.0.
From
BIND 4.9.7 to BIND 9.2.0 |
 |
A shell script, “named-bootconf.sh” is provided with BIND 9.2.0 in the /usr/bin directory to convert the BIND 4.9.7 configuration
file to BIND 9.2.0-compliant configuration file.
The following steps describe how to convert the existing /etc/named.boot file to the BIND 9.2.0-compliant /etc/named.conf configuration file:
Execute
/usr/bin/named-bootconf.sh with the existing /etc/named.boot file as input
and redirect the output to /etc/named.conf.
# /usr/bin/named-bootconf.sh < /etc/named.boot > /etc/named.conf |
A shell script "change2v9db.sh" is provided with BIND 9.2.0 in the /usr/bin directory to convert the existing db files to
BIND 9.2.0-compliant db files.
The following steps describe how to convert the BIND 4.9.7
db files to BINDv9.1.3-compliant db files:
cd to the directory where the db files exist.
Execute the script as specified
below with all the db files as arguments.
# /usr/bin/change2v9db.sh dbfile1 dbfile2 ... |
After successful execution, all existing db files will be
converted to BIND 9.2.0-compliant db files.
|
| |
|
 | NOTE: It is highly recommend that BIND 4.9.7 users read the
BIND 8.1.2 optional web upgrade release notes available at http://www.software.hp.com/products/DNS_BIND/index.html. |
|
| |
|
From
BIND 8.1.2 to BIND 9.2.0 |
|
BIND 9.2.0 expects the db files in a slightly different format
compared to the previous versions.
A shell script "change2v9db.sh" is provided with BIND 9.2.0 to convert the existing
db files to BIND 9.2.0-compliant db files. The shell script is installed
in the /usr/bin directory.
The following steps describe how to convert the db files to
BIND 9.2.0-compliant db files:
cd to the directory where the db files exist.
Execute the script as specified
below with all the db files as arguments.
# /usr/bin/change2v9db.sh dbfile1 dbfile2 ... |
From
BIND 9.0 to BIND 9.2.0 |
|
Customers currently using BIND 9.0 need not modify the configuration file
and db files. They are compatible with BIND 9.2.0.
From
BIND 9.1.3 to BIND 9.2.0 |
|
Customers currently using BIND 9.1.3 need not modify the configuration file
and db files. They are compatible with BIND 9.2.0.
