Use staging to production techniques to complete the migration

1. Install WebSphere Portal 8.0.0.1 and WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.5 on a staging server with the same operating system as the source server.

2. Use the WebSphere Portal staging to production tools to deploy a stand-alone server based on the source server.

3. Install the WebSphere Portal 8.5 and WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.2 binary files on the target server.

4. Access the Configuration Wizard on the target server, and click...
   Update or Maintain a Current Environment - Migration > Migrate a Stand-alone Server

5. Optional: When we complete the migration of the stand-alone staging server, we can build it into a cluster if needed.
