Portal farm migration

Migrate a portal farm

1. Deactivate all farm instances that share the required server's file system.

2. Stop sharing the required server's file system.

3. Disable farm mode...
   cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine
   ./ConfigEngine.sh disable-farm-mode -DWasPassword=foo

4. Perform migration

   For unique configurations, each farm member must be migrated. For clone configurations, we can migrate one farm member, and then clone the migrated instance.

   Create systemTemp directory. For example:

   /var/log/was_tmp

   ...where systemTemp points to directories written to by the running portal instance for things like logging and page compiling.

5. Enable farm mode:
   ./ConfigEngine.sh enable-farm-mode -DsystemTemp=/var/log/was_tmp -DWasPassword=foo
