Before migrating any network
deployment environment to WebSphere Process Server 6.0, ensure that
every node in your cell has WebSphere Business Integration Server
Foundation 5.1 or 5.1.1 installed.
The Deployment
Manager of WebSphere Process Server 6.0 is not compatible with previous
versions of Server Foundation, including 5.1 and 5.1.1. Therefore,
the static configuration
data of the unmigrated 5.1 or 5.1.1 managed nodes cannot synchronize
with the deployment manager until after the managed
node has been migrated. Migrating
a cell requires strict adherence to the following steps.
- Install WebSphere Application Server 6.0 on every
workstation that has a Server Foundation node in the cell to be
migrated.
- Use the profile
creation wizard to create a profile for each WebSphere Application
Server 6.0 installation. For Deployment
Manager nodes, create a Deployment
Manager profile (specify the same cell and node name as the 5.1
or 5.1.1 Deployment Manager). Otherwise create a custom
profile and select the check box indicating that you want to federate
at a later time (specify the same node name as the 5.1 or 5.1.1
managed node).
- For each node, install WebSphere Process Server 6.0 in
the same directory as WebSphere Application Server 6.0. Ensure that
the profile
is augmented with WebSphere Process Server files. Do not start the
6.0 server.
- From the 5.1 or 5.1.1 Deployment
Manager administration console, disable the File Synchronization
Service for each node agent, and then restart every node
agent in the cell.
- Stop the 5.1 or 5.1.1 Deployment Manager.
- Migrate the 5.1 or 5.1.1 Deployment Manager to WebSphere
Business Integration Server 6.0 (follow instructions provided for Migrating a stand-alone version of WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation to WebSphere Process Server 6.0).
- Start the 6.0 Deployment Manager. The 6.0 Deployment
Manager must be started when migrating
the managed nodes.
- For each managed node:
- Stop all servers on the node and the node
agent.
- Migrate the node (follow instructions provided for Migrating a stand-alone version of WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation to WebSphere Process Server 6.0).
- Start
the node agent and all servers on the node.
- From the 6.0 Deployment Manager administration console, enable
the node agent File Synchronization Service of the migrated
node, and restart
the node agent.
Once all nodes of the cell are migrated, the migration of
the cell is complete.
