NAME

       register-ds-admin.pl - Registers Directory Server instances with an Admin Server

SYNOPSIS

       register-ds-admin.pl [--options] -- [args]

DESCRIPTION

       Registers existing Directory Server instances with an existing Admin Server.  This command
       does the set up necessary for the use of  the  Console  to  manage  the  Directory  Server
       instances you are registering.

       Use  this  command  with  the  --update  option  after  an  upgrade  to refresh the server
       information (version, build number, etc.) in the Console.

       Can be run in interactive mode with different levels of verbosity, or in silent mode  with
       parameters supplied in a .inf format file or on the command line.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below:

       --help This message

       --version
              Print the version and exit

       --debug
              Turn on debugging

       --silent
              Use silent setup - no user input

       --file=name
              Use the file 'name' in .inf format to supply the default answers

       --keepcache
              Do not delete the temporary .inf file generated by this program

       --logfile
              Log setup messages to this file - otherwise, a temp file will be used

       --update
              Update an existing installation (e.g. after upgrading packages)

       --continue
              (update only) keep going despite errors (also --force)

       For  all  options, you can also use the short name e.g. -h, -d, etc.  For the -d argument,
       specifying it more than once will increase the debug level e.g. -ddddd

       args: You can supply default .inf data in this format:

              section.param=value

       e.g.

              General.FullMachineName=foo.example.com

       or

              "slapd.Suffix=dc=example, dc=com"

       Values passed in this manner will override values in  an  .inf  file  given  with  the  -f
       argument.
