About this task
First migrate the deployment manager. Then migrate each
application server node one at a time.
Supported configurations: If you are migrating a WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.1.x or 7.0.0.x cell with middleware
agents to
WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment Version
8.5.x, the middleware agents are not migrated. The middleware agents
remain at the previous version, and you can continue to use the middleware
agents and use the IBM Update
Installer to install fix packs to the middleware agents separately.
However, Version 7 is the last full release of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, and there
are no further releases of the middleware agent. To manage middleware
servers from a
WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment Version
8.5 or later deployment manager, it is recommended that you use the
WebSphere Application Server node agent at
the same release level. The node agent completely replaces the functions
of the middleware agent.
