Back up the deployment manager and all old nodes

About this task

Step 1 towards the goal: Migrating cells using the command-line tools

In case of failure during the migration, save the current deployment manager and node configuration to a file that you can use later for recovery purposes.

Procedure

  1. Change to the deployment_manager_profile_root/bin directory.
  2. Run the backupConfig command with the appropriate parameters and save the current profile configuration to a file. For example:
    [IBM i]
    /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V70/ND/profiles/v70dmgr01/bin/backupConfig /mybackupdir/
    v70dmgr01backupBeforeV85migration.zip -username myuser -password mypass -nostop
  3. For each node in the configuration, change to the node_profile_root/bin directory.
  4. Run the backupConfig command with the appropriate parameters, and save the current profile configuration to a file. For example:
    [IBM i]
    /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V70/ND/profiles/v70node01/bin/backupConfig 
    /mybackupdir/v70node01rbackupBeforeV85migration.zip -username myuser -password mypass -nostop
