Migrating the Version 5.x or 6.0.x default instance to the default Version 6.1 standalone application server profile

Use the migration tools to migrate from a Version 5.x or 6.0.x default instance to the default Version 6.1 standalone application server profile.

Before you begin

See Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Premigration considerations.

For help in troubleshooting problems when migrating, see Troubleshooting migration.

Before following these instructions, take the steps in Preparing for product-configuration migration.

Procedure

  1. Save the WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x configuration.
    1. Start the Qshell environment so that you can run WebSphere Application Server scripts.
      Enter the following command on a command line:
      STRQSH
    2. Run the WASPreUpgrade script.
      Use the following parameters when migrating to a Version 6.1 standalone application server profile:
      app_server_root/bin/WASPreUpgrade 
       backup_directory_name 
       old_default_instance
      where
      • app_server_root is the location where Version 6.1 is installed
      • backup_directory_name (required parameter) is the fully qualified path to the directory where the WASPreUpgrade migration tool stores the saved configuration and files

        This directory is created if it does not already exist. This directory also stores a log file called WASPreUpgrade.log that chronicles the steps taken by the WASPreUpgrade command.

      • old_default_instance is one of the following, depending on the version from which you are migrating:
        • /QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/default
        • /QIBM/UserData/WebAS51/Base/default
        • /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/profiles/default

      The WASPreUpgrade tool writes a log file called WASPreUpgrade.log that chronicles the steps taken by the WASPreUpgrade command.

      For a full explanation of the WASPreUpgrade command and its parameters, see WASPreUpgrade command.

  2. Restore the WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x configuration into a Version 6.1 profile.
    1. Start the Qshell environment so that you can run WebSphere Application Server scripts.
      Enter the following command on a command line:
      STRQSH
    2. Run the WASPostUpgrade script.
      Use the following parameters:
      app_server_root/bin/WASPostUpgrade 
      backup_directory_name
      -profileName default
      where
      • app_server_root is the location where Version 6.1 is installed
      • backup_directory_name (required parameter) is the fully qualified path to the directory where the WASPreUpgrade migration tool previously saved the WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or 6.0.x instance configuration

      For a full explanation of the WASPostUpgrade command and its parameters, see WASPostUpgrade command.

  3. Start the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 default profile.
    1. Start the Qshell environment so that you can run WebSphere Application Server scripts.
      Enter the following command on a command line:
      STRQSH
    2. If the QWAS61 subsystem has not been started, start the default profile.
      Enter the following command on a command line:
      STRSBS QWAS61/QWAS61
    3. If the QWAS61 subsystem is already started and the SERVER1 job is present, stop the server and start it again.
    4. If the QWAS61 subsystem is already started but the SERVER1 job is not present, start the server using the startServer script.
      Enter the following commands on a command line:
      STRQSH
      
      app_server_root/bin/startServer
      where app_server_root is the location where Version 6.1 is installed.
