Migrating to a Version 6.1 deployment manager

Use this procedure to migrate from a WebSphere® Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 deployment manager to a WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1 deployment manager.

Before you begin

Ensure that your workstation has a sufficient amount of drive space to support a mixed cell environment, and the names of the cell and the nodes are the same to successfully migrate from Version 6.0.2 to Version 6.1.

You must download and install the required interim fix for the XDPreUpgrade command before you can use the utility in the migration process to save your Version 6.0.2 configurations to a backup directory. Download the XDPreUpgrade Interim Fix from the WebSphere Extended Deployment support site:
  • Type PK43942 in the Search Support field. This is the specific APAR number for the interim fix.
  • Select Download (Fixes, Utilities, APARs) to limit the returned results, and click Search.

About this task

WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1 introduces a new strategy for migrating and merging the configuration of separate products. With previous versions, you were required to complete a migration process in which you migrate the deployment manager and all of the nodes at the same time. With Version 6.1, you first migrate the deployment manager, and then migrate each node one at a time, which creates a mixed cell environment.

Additionally, if you have an existing installation of WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1, you can migrate directly from Version 6.0.2 to Version 6.1 without having to install or migrate WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Complete the following steps to update the Version 6.0.2 deployment manager with the Version 6.1 deployment manager.
