I'm attempting to migrate a full DSpace installation (4.x) to a new 6.1. I'm performing
[dspace]/bin/dspace packager -d -a -t AIP -e repo@institution.edu -i OURHANDLE/0 sitewide-aip.zip
to export the entire site, without any special issues. The output are many .zip files including the sitewide-aip.zip.
The problem is when trying to restore in the new DSpace installation. After performing
[dspace]/bin/dspace packager -r -a -f -t AIP -e repo@institution.edu -i OURHANDLE/0 -o skipIfParentMissing=true /path/to/sitewide-aip.zip
an exception is thrown
Exception: Bad identifier/handle -- Cannot resolve handle "OURHANDLE/0"
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad identifier/handle -- Cannot resolve handle "OURHANDLE/0"

Can't figure out why this is happening, since HANDLE/0 is suppossed to refer to base handle of the whole installation according to what I've researched so far.
What is your handle prefix? It can be found in your dspace.cfg file.
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L249
You should use that value for the command.
You should also be able to find it in your database using the following query
select * from handle where handle like '%/0';
