<H1>Data Store Conversion</H1>
The Data Store Conversion wizard enables you to convert the Solaris DHCP data store from one format to another. Choose Convert Data Store from the Services menu to start the wizard.
<P>
The Data Store Conversion wizard asks you to supply the following information.
<P><HR NOSHADE><P>
<table border=0 cellspacing=4 cellpadding=3 width=490>
<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="store"><STRONG>Data storage type</STRONG></A><br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Select the new data store type you want to use.
<P>
Text files are recommended if you are serving a small number of
DHCP clients, less than 10,000.
<P>Binary files are recommended in sites having a very large number
of clients and no sharing is required among DHCP servers.
<P>NIS+ is recommended if you are already using NIS+ for name service,
and if you have an environment with multiple DHCP servers, so that the
information can be shared by all the DHCP servers in the NIS+ domain.
<P>
<STRONG>Note:</STRONG> If the server is not already configured as a NIS+ client, you cannot select the NIS+ option. To use NIS+ for the data store, cancel the wizard, configure the server as a NIS+ client, and run DHCP Manager again.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="path"><STRONG>Configure data store</STRONG></A><br>
</td>
<td valign="top">The information requested here varies according to the data store chosen.
If you selected text files or binary files, enter the path to the
data (<tt>/var/dhcp</tt> is the default). If you use NIS+, enter the domain
of the NIS+ server (this server's domain is the default). <p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=125 valign="top"><A NAME="save"><STRONG>Save old tables</STRONG></A></td>
<td valign="top">By default, the DHCP tables that the server had been using before the
conversion are deleted after it is determined that the conversion was successful. If you
do not want the tables to be deleted, select Save old tables. Note that if a problem occurs during the conversion,
the tables will not be deleted even if you did not elect to save the tables.<p>
