Completing the migration process

It is now time to complete the migration process started in Starting the migration process. The migration process differs slightly based on the type of migration. In the in-place case, data such as voice will already be present on the file system and so only the new DB2 10.5 database will need updating. In the new hardware case this data will not be present on the file system so will require migrating along with the DB2 10.5 database update.

  1. Log on to AIX as root.
  2. Setting up the environment : Type the following command and press Enter:
    . /usr/lpp/dirTalk/tools/vae.setenv

    Leave a space between the period and the slash before usr.

  3. Type the following command and press Enter:
    echo $VAE

    If the environment is properly set up, the system should display the following message:

    /usr/lpp/dirTalk
  4. Checking the current directory: Type the following command and press Enter:
     pwd

    The system displays the path for your current directory. Make sure it is not within the /home/dirTalk or /usr/lpp/dirTalk directories.

  5. Restoring migration data: Type the following command and press Enter:
     restoreMigrationData /tmp/migrate.tar

    Where /tmp/migrate.tar is the file that you saved migration data in. The system displays information similar to:

    Restore migration data from BVR 4.2 or BVR 6.1 to BVR 7.0
    Running restoreMigrationData version 7.00
    File where migration data will be restored from = /tmp/migrate.tar
    Checking SSI status of kukri1.hursley.blueworx.com
    Press ENTER to continue and restore migration data

    Hit enter:

    Do you wish to restore Archived Statistics files to Archive Directory
    (/usr/lpp/dirTalk/db/archive_dir/) [y]/n?  >

    Enter y or n:

    If you select n :
    Archived Statistics NOT restored
    Checking data version...
