Use this procedure to migrate WebSphere® Extended Deployment Version
6.0.2 nodes to WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1.
Before you begin
Ensure that your workstation has a sufficient amount of drive space
to support a mixed cell environment, and the names of the cell and the nodes
are the same to successfully migrate from Version 6.0.2 to Version 6.1.
You
must download and install the required interim fix for the
XDPreUpgrade command
before you can use the utility in the migration process to save your Version
6.0.2 configurations to a backup directory. Download the
XDPreUpgrade Interim
Fix from the
WebSphere Extended Deployment support site:
- Type PK43942 in the Search Support field. This
is the specific APAR number for the interim fix.
- Select Download (Fixes, Utilities, APARs) to limit the returned
results, and click Search.
About this task
After you migrate the deployment manager, migrate each node that
exists in your cell one at a time. If you have an existing installation of WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.2 on WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version
6.1, you can migrate directly from the product Version 6.0.2 to Version 6.1
without having to install or migrate WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment.
Complete the following steps to update the Version 6.0.2 node with Version
6.1
