The documentation for migrating Network Deployment configurations
to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x includes planning information,
information on how to generate the migration jobs and instructions, high-level
migration checklists, and detailed migration explanations.
Before you begin
See Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Premigration considerations.
Feature pack rules and restrictions for migration: The following
rules and restrictions apply to migrating Version 5.x or 6.0.x Network Deployment
configurations if you have a Version 6.1 feature pack installed:
- You can migrate a Version 5.x or 6.0.x deployment manager to a Version
6.1.x deployment manager that has not been augmented for any Version 6.1 feature
pack.
You must first migrate the Version 5.x or 6.0.x deployment manager
to an unaugmented Version 6.1.x deployment manager and then augment the target
deployment manager afterwards.
- You cannot migrate a Version 5.x or 6.0.x deployment manager to a Version
6.1.x deployment manager that has been augmented for any Version 6.1 feature
pack.
- You cannot augment a Version 6.1.x managed server that has been migrated
from a Version 5.x or 6.0.x managed server.
You can create a new profile
in Version 6.1.x with the appropriate feature pack installed, augment it,
and then add the new node to a Version 6.1.x cell that has an augmented deployment
manager.
