Scenario 1: Migrating a cell using the command line tools

Before you begin

Review the migration planning information. See Knowledge Collection: Migration planning for WebSphere® Application Server .

About this task

This task describes how to use the command line tools to migrate a cell from a previous version of WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0. The cell configuration consists of a deployment manager with one or more nodes, a Web server, and an application client. All ports are migrated forward into the new configuration. This procedure assumes that the previous configuration is running.

  2. Install WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0
  3. Create the target deployment manager profile
  4. Run the WASPreUpgrade command from the new deployment manager profile bin directory
  5. Verify the console output and the WASPreUpgrade logs for success, warnings, or failure
  6. Run the WASPostUpgrade command from the new deployment manager profile bin directory
  7. Verify the logs for success
  8. Run the backupConfig command on the Version 7.0 deployment manager
  9. Start the Version 7.0 deployment manager
  10. Manually sync (Version 5.1 only)
  11. Migrate plug-ins for Web servers
  12. Run a migration on application client installations
  13. Migrate nodes
  14. Troubleshooting
