Migrate product configurations

You can migrate WebSphere XD configurations by using the Migration wizard or the command-line migration tools.

 

Before you begin

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 V6.0.2 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

When you migrate from WebSphere^® Extended Deployment V6.0.2 to WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1, you create a mixed cell environment, which is a cell that contains nodes that are operating at both the 6.0.2 product level and the 6.1 product level. To create this environment, you first migrate the deployment manager, and then you migrate each node one at a time, with minimal impact to the applications that are running within the cell.

 

Procedure

1. Complete the following steps to migrate WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0.2 installed on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.0.2:

   1. Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1.

   2. Create a WebSphere Application Server deployment manager profile and a custom profile.

   3. Issue the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade commands to migrate the deployment manager profile and the custom profile to the Version 6.1 product level.

   4. Install WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1.

   5. Augment the deployment manager profile and the custom profile that you created in step b. for WebSphere XD.

   6. Use the Migration wizard or issue the XDUpgrade command to migrate the deployment manager and the node to the V6.1 level.

   7. Start the deployment manager and the nodes.

2. Complete the following steps to migrate WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0.2 installed on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1:

   1. Stop the deployment manager and all of the Network Deployment application servers that are running on the node and the node agent.

   2. Issue the XDPreUgrade command to save the V6.0.2 product configurations.

   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 V6.1.

   5. Use the Migration wizard or issue the XDUpgrade command to migrate the deployment manager and the node to the V6.1 level.
