Use the MIGRATE ALIAS command to migrate alias profiles from NS to
ARPA in the AliasDB file on the client. You can choose the automatic
option to migrate all profiles or the manual option which prompts you
for the server node name of each profile. To use the automatic
option, this command must be used before installing HP-UX 10.0 on the
client and/or the server.
If you execute MIGRATE ALIAS VERBOSE, all diagnostic information written to the log file will also appear on the screen. See the description of the log file below.
MIGRATE ALIAS can be abbreviated to MA. MIGRATE ALIAS VERBOSE can be abbreviated to MAV.
You must have superuser capability to execute this command.

Automatic Migration (y/n)? { y [es] n [o]}
Alias Name : testdb
Current Server Node Name : ServerNodeName
New Server Node Name (NewServerNodeName) : ServerNodeName
Migrate profile (y/n)? y

Parameters |
|
- ServerNodeName
is the name of the server you want to access. You should enter the ARPA host name here. If a value for (ServerNodeName(ARPA value)) is displayed, you may press Return to select that value.
Description |
|
MIGRATE ALIAS only targets alias profiles where client and/or
server is a HP9000 S700 or S800 and the datacomm type is NS. In addition, MIGRATE ALIAS will alert you if any alias profiles specify a machine type of HP 9000 S300 or S400. The use of a HP 9000 S300 and S400 as a server is not supported in the ALLBASE/SQL G.0 release.
MIGRATE ALIAS prompts you to select a migration option, either automatic or manual:
automatic - All targeted alias profiles will be changed automatically.
The datacomm type will be changed from NS to ARPA and the NS node
name entry for Server Node Name will be changed to an ARPA host name.
To use MIGRATE ALIAS with the automatic option, do the following:
Do the migration before installing HP-UX 10.0 on the client and/or
server, otherwise only manual migration can be used.
Install patch release phne_2288 and phne_3502 on HP-UX.
Make sure remote loopback is enabled on all servers.
manual - For each targeted alias profile, the alias name and current
server node name will be displayed. A prompt will appear for the new
server node name, with the ARPA host name in parentheses (if it can be
determined by NETUtil). You may enter an ARPA host name at the
prompt, or if the ARPA host name appears, you may press the Return
key instead. The datacomm type will automatically change from NS to ARPA.
When all migration completes, totals for successful and unsuccessful
migration attempts are displayed. Finally, you will be prompted to
save the migration changes.
When the migration commands are used, two files are created or
appended to on the client: a migration log file, named /tmp/hpdamig.log, and a server list file, named /etc/dausf.mig. The migration log file contains the following information for each profile:
the command name MIGRATE ALIAS
current server node name (NS value)
new server node name (ARPA value)
The server list file contains a list of affected servers.
For each server, use MIGRATE USER or
CHANGE USER to migrate the client from an NS value to an ARPA value.
Examples |

In this example, MIGRATE ALIAS is executed and the automatic option
is chosen. A migration error occurs during migration.
netutil=> MIGRATE ALIAS
Automatic Migration (y/n)? y
Migration in progress ...
Cannot migrate alias (testdb2) for server (node1) (DBERR 28029)
Migration complete.
3 alias(es) migrated successfully.
1 alias(es) NOT migrated - see screen above or /tmp/hpdamig.log
for error information.
Save migration changes (y/n)? y
Migration changes saved.

In this example, MIGRATE ALIAS VERBOSE is executed and the automatic option
is chosen. A migration error occurs during migration.
netutil=> MIGRATE ALIAS VERBOSE
Automatic Migration (y/n)? y

In this example, the manual option is chosen. Two profiles were found;
the ARPA host name value for the new server node name could only be
determined for the first profile.
netutil=> MIGRATE ALIAS
Automatic Migration (y/n)? n
Alias Name : testdb
Current Server Node Name : snode.sdomain.sorg
New Server Node Name (snode) : Return
Migrate profile (y/n)? y
Profile migrated.
Alias Name : testdb2
Current Server Node Name : node1.dom.org
New Server Node Name (snode1) : newnode
Migrate profile (y/n)? y
Profile migrated.
Migration complete.
2 alias(es) migrated successfully.
0 alias(es) NOT migrated - see screen above or /tmp/hpdamig.log
for error information.

In this example, the manual option is chosen. The user exits before
all migration is completed.
