You can migrate an application server node from your current WebSphere® Application
Server
Network Deployment Version 6.1.0.x and WebSphere Extended
Deployment Version 6.1.0.5 cell to
a new WebSphere Application
Server
Network Deployment Version 7.0.x
and WebSphere Extended
Deployment Version 6.1.1 cell.
Before you begin
Migrate the deployment manager.
Procedure
- Create and mount a new configuration file system as the
target of the migration.
- Mount the product HFS for WebSphere Application
Server
Network Deployment Version 7.0.x at /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V7R0.
- Use the z/OS Migration
Management Tool or zmmt command to generate and
run the Job Control Language (JCL) jobs for Version 7.0.x. See Migrating product configurations with migration tools for
more information.
- Use the WebSphere Customization
Tools to generate the Version 6.1.1 augmentation job for each node.
Use the directory name you used in step 1 as the mount point
of the configuration file system. See Generating customization definitions
for
more information.
- Use the WebSphere Customization
Tools to upload and run the augmentation job for each node. See Uploading and running customized jobs
for more information.
- Start the deployment manager if it is not already started.
- Run the XDUpgrade command to copy the
existing configuration to the new Version 6.1.1 cell as shown in the
following example:
XDUpgrade.sh -userID user_name -password user_password
-sourceWasHome install_root/AppServer
-sourceProfilePath install_root/AppServer/profiles/default
-targetProfilePath configuration_root/AppServer/profiles/default
Avoid trouble: You must run the
XDUpgrade command
from the
configuration_root/AppServer/bin directory.
gotcha
After you run the XDUpgrade command, review
the XDUpgrade.log and XDUpgrade.trace files
in the configuration_root/AppServer/logs directory.
- Start each node.
What to do next
If your environment contains Compute Grid, migrate the parallel
job manager.
