UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris)
Issue
Resolution
1. Stop all RSA ACE/Server processes, e.g. aceserver stop and sdconnect stop
2. Dump the database from the Primary ACE/Server, e.g. sddump -s
3. Copy the sdserv.dmp and license.rec files into a temporary directory (i.e. /dump) on the Primary ACE/Server system
4. Install the ACE/Server 5.0.1 software into a new directory structure (i.e. /opt/ace/501). RSA ACE/Server 5.0 UNIX Installation Guide (unix_install.pdf) provides more information on page 39, chapter titled "Installing the Primary Server for Primary ACE/Server installation instructions"
5. In the new ACEPROG directory run the following commands:
sdnewdb, and enter all at the prompt
sdload -s -u -f /dump/sdserv.dmp -k /dump/license.rec
6. Perform local and remote test authentications with both Primary and Replica running, and then with only the Replica running. If these tests are successful, you have a working RSA ACE/Server 5.0.1 Primary server.
NOTE: If you are using a TACACS deamon, do not forget to configure this using the sdsetup -config command
