Migrate to a V6.1 node

Use this procedure to migrate WebSphere^® Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 nodes to WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1.

 

Before you begin

Ensure that your workstation has a sufficient amount of drive space to support a mixed cell environment, and the names of the cell and the nodes are the same to successfully migrate from V6.0.2 to V6.1. You must download and install the required interim fix for the XDPreUpgrade command before you can use the utility in the migration process to save your Version 6.0.2 configurations to a backup directory. Download the XDPreUpgrade Interim Fix from the WebSphere Extended Deployment support site:

• Type PK43942 in the Search Support field. This is the specific APAR number for the interim fix.

• Select Download (Fixes, Utilities, APARs) to limit the returned results, and click Search.

 

About this task

After you migrate the deployment manager, migrate each node that exists in your cell one at a time. If you have an existing installation of WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0.2 on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1, you can migrate directly from WebSphere XD V6.0.2 to V6.1 without having to install or migrate WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. Complete the following steps to update the V6.0.2 node with Version 6.1

 

Procedure

• To migrate a WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 node that exists with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.0.2:

  1. Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1 on the workstation that hosts the node.

  2. Use the manageprofiles command to create a Network Deployment V6.1 custom profile.

  3. Issue the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUPgrade commands to migrate the node to the Network Deployment V6.1 product level.

  4. Install WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1 on the same workstation that you installed Network Deployment V6.1. You must first install the Operations Optimization component to then install the Compute Grid or Data Grid components.

  5. Augment the custom profile that you created with the xd_augment template, which is the profile augment template for WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1. If you install multiple V6.1 components, you must augment each profile for that particular component.

     Use the wxdcg_augment template for the Compute Grid component, and use the wxddg_augment template for the Data Grid component.

  6. Start the Migration wizard, or issue the XDUpgrade command to migrate the node to WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1. Issue the following command to start the Migration wizard:

     • install_root/bin/xd_migration.bat

     • install_root/bin/xd_migration.sh
     Issue the XDUpgrade command from the target_profile/bin directory:

     • XDUpgrade.bat

     • ./XDUpgrade.sh

     For further details on the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade commands, and the Network Deployment installation and profile creation process, refer to the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Information Center.

• To migrate a WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 node that exists with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1:

  1. Stop all of the application servers that are running on the node and the node agent by issuing the stopNode command:

     • stopNode.bat

     • ./stopNode.sh

  2. Issue the XDPreUgrade command from the source_profile/bin directory to save the V6.0.2 product configurations:

     • XDPreUpgrade.bat -create

     • ./XDPreUpgrade.sh -create

  3. Uninstall WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2, and install WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1 in the same location.

  4. Augment the WebSphere Application Server deployment manager profile for WebSphere XD by issuing the xd_augment, which is the profile augment template for WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization. You must first install the Operations Optimization component to then install the Compute Grid or Data Grid components.

     Use the wxdcg_augment template for the Compute Grid component, and use the wxddg_augment template for the Data Grid component.

  5. Start the Migration wizard, or issue the XDUpgrade command to migrate the node to WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1. Issue the following command to start the Migration wizard:

     • install_root/bin/xd_migration.bat

     • install_root/bin/xd_migration.sh
     Issue the XDUpgrade command from the target_profile/bin directory:

     • XDUpgrade.bat

     • ./XDUpgrade.sh

  You successfully installed WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1, and migrated the configuration of WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 to the V6.1 environment.

 

Results

You can check the log files if the migration fails:

• For the Operations Optimization component, the files are located in install_root/logs/xd.xdopupgrade.log

• For the Compute Grid component, the files are located in install_root/logs/xd.xdcgupgrade.log

• For the Data Grid component, the files are located in install_root/logs/xd.xddgupgrade.log
