Use the migration tools to migrate from Version 5.x to Version
6.0.x.
About this task
For
federated migrations, IBM advises that you run the backupConfig command on each node in the
cell before migrating the deployment manager.
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.
