Migrating to WebSphere eXtreme Scale v7.0
To upgrade from v6.1.0.x to v7.0, merge any modified product script files with new product script files to maintain the changes.
Before you begin
Verify that the systems meet the minimum requirements for the product versions you plan to migrate and install. See Hardware and software requirements for more information.
Merge any modified product script files with new product script files in the /bin directory to maintain the changes.
Tip: If you did not modify the script files that are installed with the product, you are not required to complete the following migration steps. Instead, you can upgrade to v7.0 by uninstalling the previous version and installing the new version in the same directory.
