Archive the backup directory created by the WASPreUpgrade command

Step 7: Scenario 2: Migrating cells across operating systems using the command-line tools

Do not use the Windows archive tool because it is not compatible with a WAS migration.

Procedure

1. Use the archive tool of your choice to create a compressed file of the backup directory. For example:

   cd /mybackup_old_host
   /opt/WASv61/java/bin/jar -cf v61v8dmgr01.jar v61v8dmgr01/
   

2. Move the archived file to the target machine.

3. Create a directory on the target machine and extract the archived file to the new directory. For example:

   mkdir /mybackup_new_host
   cd /mybackup_new_host
   /opt/WASv8/java/bin/jar -xf v61v8dmgr01.jar
   

   where mybackup_new_host is the directory to which you are migrating your files.

What to do next

Run the WASPostUpgrade command from the new dmgr profile bin directory
