This section documents the migration of WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid Version 6.1.1 on WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x, 7.x or 8.0 to WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5. You can also use these steps to migrate the Feature Pack for Modern Batch 1.0.0.x.
Before you migrate WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid Version 6.1.1 and above to Version 8.5, you must install WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid Fix Pack 3 and cumulative interim fix PM39203. Migration from any version of the Feature Pack for Modern Batch 1.0.0.x is supported. You must also install either interim fix 8.5.0.1-WS-WASND-TFPM66821, or Fix Pack 8.5.0.1 or higher.
You can use the command-line tools to migrate a cell from a previous version of WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid to Version 8.5. 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. WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid does not support remote migration.
