Use the Migration wizard to migrate from WebSphere® Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 to WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1.
Before you begin
WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1 can support
a WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 migration from only
two specific installations. WebSphere Extended Deployment Version
6.0.2 must exist on one of the following WebSphere Application Server
products:
- Network Deployment Version 6.0.2
- Network Deployment Version 6.1
While both installations are supported,
the steps to migrate from each type of environment are slightly different.
About this task
WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1 introduces a
new strategy for migrating and merging the configuration of separate
products. Until now, you were required to complete a migration process
in which the deployment manager and all of the nodes were migrated
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 the product Version 6.0.2 to Version 6.1 without
having to install or migrate WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment.
Procedure
- Start the Migration wizard.
Run the following command to access the Migration
wizard:
install_root\bin\xd_migration.bat
install_root\bin\xd_migration.sh
- Read
the Welcome panel, and click Next.
- Click Browse to enter the WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 location from
which you want to migrate. Click
the second Browse button to enter the WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 profile path
from which you want to migrate, and click Next.
- Click Browse to enter the WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1 profile path
to which the configuration is migrated, and click Next to continue.
- Click Browse to enter the directory in which
to save the migration logs. Optionally,
type the trace level to use with generating the diagnostic messages.
The levels range from 1 to 7, with 7 as the default. Click Next to
continue.
- Read the information in the summary panel to verify
that it is correct, and click Next to start the migration.
The progress of the migration process
is then displayed.
When the migration
completes, a panel displays a message of completion. If the migration
is not successful, a failure message is displayed instead. You can
correct any problems, and restart the migration.
- Click Finish to
exit the wizard.
Results
Your cell is updated and now contains the latest version of
WebSphere Extended Deployment.
What to do next
You can now prepare your environment to begin
supporting the use of ObjectGrid and the partitioning facility (WPF).
