Migrating individual hosts
When all users and groups have been migrated and no users are required to log on to the Windows NT® domain, migrate HCL VersionVault hosts to the Active Directory domain.
About this task
If you cannot migrate all your HCL
VersionVault hosts
at the same time, then migrate VOB servers first. (Registry and license
servers can migrate at any time, because they do not store SIDs in
their databases.)
Note: These procedures require you to use the vob_sidwalk utility.
Before performing any of these procedures, review the vob_sidwalk reference
page to better understand the capabilities of vob_sidwalk.
Procedure
- Stop HCL VersionVault on the host.
- Use the procedures defined by Microsoft® to migrate the host to the Active Directory domain.
- Reconfigure each HCL
VersionVault host
so that its albd_server logs on as the (migrated) HCL
VersionVault server
process user in the Active Directory domain. You can do this by reinstalling HCL VersionVault on the host and specifying the new account, or you can do it manually, as described in Defining required domain accounts manually.
- If the host is a VOB server that will be also accessed by clients running Linux® or the UNIX® system, reset the credentials mapping domain in the Options page of the VersionVault program in Control Panel. The credentials mapping domain must be one in which user and group account names match those of users on Linux® or the UNIX® system that will access VOBs on this server.
- Restart HCL VersionVault on the host.
- Reprotect any VOB and view storage on the host.To do so, run the fix_prot utility on each VOB or view storage directory as shown in this example:
versionvault-home-dir\etc\utils\fix_prot –replace storage-dir-pname
In this example, storage-dir-pname is the pathname to the VOB or view storage directory. - Update VOB databases with the new SIDs that represent the
cloned user and group accounts.
What to do next
Note: If you had been using proxy groups to enable users
from multiple domains to access a common set of HCL
VersionVault artifacts,
an Active Directory universal group should be used to eliminate the
need for proxy groups and domain mapping. Follow the procedure in Converting proxy groups
