Chapter 4

Migrating From Mac OS X Server Version 10.3

IP Firewall

Save these files:

 /etc/ipfilter/ip_address_groups.plist
 /etc/ipfilter/standard_services.plist
 /etc/ipfilter/ipfw.conf

NAT

Save the contents of /etc/nat/natd.plist.

VPN

Copy:

 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.RemoteAccessServers.plist
 /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
 /etc/racoon/psk.text (if L2TP is set up and psk.text stores the IPsec shared secret; the

shared secret may also be stored in com.apple.RemoteAccessServers.plist or
System.keychain)

DNS

Save the file /etc/named.conf and the directory /var/named/ and all its contents.

DHCP

Save the DHCP settings after running the following command from the Terminal
application. This command writes the DHCP configuration record stored in NetInfo to a
file named DHCPconfig:

nidump -r /config/dhcp . > DHCPconfig

Although Server Admin DHCP didn’t manage static bindings between IP addresses and
Ethernet addresses in version 10.3, it does in version 10.4. So if you’ve manually
configured some DHCP static bindings on your version 10.3 server, you can save them
to a file for migration to version 10.4 by using this command:

nidump -r /machines . > Machinesconfig

User Data

Save any user data files you want to reuse, especially home directory folders.

QuickTime Streaming Server Files and Folders

Save files and folders in /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/.

For more information on migrating QTSS, see the QuickTime Streaming Server
administration guide.

Step 3:

Note current share points and privileges

If your version 10.3 server has share points and privileges you want to re-create on the
version 10.4 server, make a note of them. Note which share points are for home
directories.
