Use the migration tools to migrate from Version 5.x to a Version 6.0.x standalone application server on a remote machine.
However, some scenarios require that you migrate the Version 5.x configuration on one machine to Version 6.0.x on a different machine. One of these scenarios is when you install new machines for your Version 6.0.x environment but need to migrate your existing Version 5.x configuration from other machines.
To ensure that your operating system is supported by WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x, visit the following site for the most current list of supported hardware and software: Supported hardware and software Web page.
If you find that your operating system is not supported for migration to Version 6.0.x, see Migrating from an operating system that is no longer supported.
The WASPreUpgrade tool saves the existing Version 5.x configuration into a migration_specific_backup directory. The WASPostUpgrade tool uses this directory to add the old configuration settings to the new Version 6.0.x environment.
