Use the migration tools to migrate from Version 5.x to
Version 6.0.x.
Procedure
- Stop all of the Version 5.x application servers that are
running on the node.
Use the
stopServer command
from the
app_server_root/bin directory.
For example, issue the following commands to stop server1 and server2
on a Linux platform:
./stopServer.sh server1
./stopServer.sh server2
If security is enabled,
specify the -user and -password parameters on the stopServer command.
You
can migrate a Version 5.x node without stopping it. It is not necessary
to have the node running to migrate its configuration. The migration
tools can retrieve all the configuration data while the node is stopped.
You must stop the node before you can start the Version 6.0.x node
that you are installing.
- Install the Version 6.0.x product.
- Use
the Profile creation wizard to create a Version 6.0.x profile.
- Use the Migration wizard to migrate the node (the recommended
way to access the Migration wizard is through the First Steps console).
Results
After going through the Migration wizard, you have upgraded
a Version 5.x node to Version 6.0.x.
