Back up the deployment manager and all old nodes

About this task

Step 1 towards the goal: Migrating cell configurations to new host machines using the command-line tool

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:
    [Windows]
    previous_version_app_server_root\v70dmgr01\bin\
    backupConfig.bat \mybackup_old_host\v70dmgr01backupBeforeV85migration.zip 
    -username myuser -password mypass -nostop
    [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
    previous_version_app_server_root/v70dmgr01/bin/backupConfig.sh 
    /mybackup_old_host/v70dmgr01backupBeforeV85migration.zip -username 
    myuser -password mypass -nostop
    where mybackup_old_host is the location where the configuration restore points are stored.
  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:
    [Windows]
    previous_version_app_server_root\v70node01\bin\backupConfig.bat 
    \mybackup_old_host\v70node01backupBeforeV85migration.zip -username
     myuser -password mypass -nostop
    [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
    previous_version_app_server_root/v70node01
    /bin/backupConfig.sh /mybackup_old_host/v70node01rbackupBeforeV85migration.zip 
    -username myuser -password mypass -nostop
