Procedure
If you are running in a mixed-cell environment, add
STEPLIB statements that include the previous version's load modules
to the migrated Daemon's startup proc STEPLIB statements
apply to
WebSphere® Application Server Version
6.1 and earlier. If you are running with multiple nodes on the same
LPAR, or if you are running with a node on the same LPAR as the migrated
DMGR (which will create a mixed cell environment), you must add STEPLIB
statements that include the previous version's load modules to the
migrated Daemon's startup proc. This is due to the fact that the
Daemon must run at the highest WAS level on that LPAR. This is necessary
if for any reason you need to stop and restart the down level node
agent or application server. For example, after migration of the
DMGR, the BBO7DMN procedure was modified to include:
//*
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxxxx.SBBOLD2
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxxxx.SBBOLOAD
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxxxx.SBBOLPA
Where
xxxxxxxx are pointers to the previous
WebSphere Application Server level. This enables
the Daemon to manage the migrated DMGR and previous level node agents.
