Issue/Introduction

In a multi-write replication setup, what to consider when migrating Symantec Directory from legacy environment to new environment where the hostnames remain the same?

Resolution

By default, when Symantec Directory DSAs are setup and configure (regardless of stand-alone or MW replication), it uses the hostname in the configuration file. Mainly in KNOWLEDGE .dxc file so nothing special needs to be done as long as the hostnames remain the same.

The only consideration is to restart the DSAs across the board (which will happen by default as one moves from old to new systems) so they are aware of the new IP addresses while the hostnames remain the same.
