DNS migration from Bind to MyDNS

Last modified: 08 Oct 2007

To migrate DNS from BIND to MyDNS, execute the following steps:

1. Execute items 1-3.1 of the Install and Configure MyDNS. MyDNS front end servers must be installed on the servers where you have got H-Sphere BIND name servers installed.
2. Restart CP
3. Log to CP server as the cpanel user
4. To transfer DNS zones and records to MyDNS, run:
   

   java psoft.hsphere.tools.MigratorToMyDNS [-dz|--delete_zones]

   If you specify -dz or --delete_zones option, then the utility will try to delete each DNS zone on the new set of DNS logical servers before recreating them.

5. Restart CP.
6. Stop Bind.
7. Add external DNS server to /etc/resolv.conf for each MyDNS server.
