[Fedora-directory-users] Is it possible to migrateBerkeley 4.2(32bit) based directory to 4.2 (64bit)

[Reinhard Nappert]

Rick,

It looks like it is ok just using the same old data and point to the db
directory. However, I experienced one hick-up. During the migration of
the config data (dse.ldif) within migrate-ds.pl, the migration of the
nsstate attribute for the uniqueid generator fails. When starting the
directory, I get:
[03/Apr/2008:15:46:26 -0400] uuid - read_state: failed to get
generator's state
[03/Apr/2008:15:46:26 -0400] uuid - uuid_init: failed to get generator's
state
[03/Apr/2008:15:46:26 -0400] uniqueid generator - uniqueIDGenInit:
generator ini
tialization failed

Do you have any idea?

I'm just really not sure.  I don't think we write any longs or other
64-bit values to the database with 1.1.  So it may just work and be
fine.
