The Fedora 3→ Fedora 6 Migration Path
Overview
To walk this migration path you'll need to download and run the migration-utils tool directly against the on-disk representation of your Fedora 3 repository. In other words it is not necessary to export your Fedora 3 repository. The fcrepo-migration-utils will not make any changes to your Fedora 3 repository so it is not necessary to make a backup before starting. You'll need to make sure that you have sufficient storage space available in the target directory as the migration will effectively create a copy of your Fedora 3 repository in the Fedora 6 format which happens to conform to the Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL) specification. Once your Fedora 3 repository has been migrated to Fedora 6, you must fire up Fedora 6 on top of the newly minted OCFL. As Fedora 6 starts up it will automatically rebuild internal indices by scanning the OCFL. This index initialization can take a few seconds or several hours depending on the size of your repository.
