While I don't consider myself an expert, I should note that ipa-replica-prepare has not been deprecated. The proposed solution to follow

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/upgrade-6-to-7.html

is indeed the correct one.

Not to be confused about ipa-replica-prepare: this command shall not be used on domain level 1 machines since the replication is solved in a smarter and more automatic way. The command would not work on domain level 1 anyway.

HTH,
Standa

I think setting up a new cluster of CentOS 7.3 machines and setting up replicas against the old cluster is sufficient.

What do the experts say?

Subject: [Freeipa-users] Migration from FreeIPA 3.0 to 4.x

Hi,

I am hoping someone will be able to help answer some questions about
migrations.

I have been asked to look at upgrading an existing FreeIPA installation on
CentOS 6 (3.0.0) to a new installation on CentOS 7 with a recent stable
release (4.4.0).

The existing CentOS 6 installation does not manage DNS or have a CA that
is being used (though the may be installed. It's primarily for user
authentication and user group management.

There are only a small number of users, groups, and hosts to migrate -
less than 100 of each.
But the data is used for LDAP integration in various applications so it
needs to be consistent.

Would it be recommended to do a straight LDIF type export and import of
the data, and configure the new FreeIPA installation for the new
access/sudo rules?

Would that risk leaving behind any data I would need to know about?

We are planning to review the sudo rules, host access lists etc as part of
the migration work. So leaving behind some data may not be a blocker to
upgrade.

Any suggestions or links welcome.

Cheers,
Dagan McGregor
