Summary

To migrate the directory service from a PowerPC-based Mac to Mac OS X Server v10.6, Rosetta needs to be installed. Some tools require Rosetta to properly migrate the data.

Products Affected

Mac OS X Server 10.6

Rosetta can be custom installed with Mac OS X Server v10.6. If you have not installed Rosetta, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the Mac OS X Server v10.6 disc.
  2. Open Terminal.
  3. Execute this command:
    open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Server\ Install\ Disc/System/Installation/Packages/Rosetta.pkg
  4. Install Rosetta on your Server Volume, then restart the server.

You can now migrate your directory service. See the Upgrade and Migration Guide for more information.
