[Version 2.1 and later] When you migrate WebSphere® Application Server to a new version, you can also migrate the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client configuration to the new WebSphere Application Server installation.

Before you begin

About this task

When you install a new version of WebSphere Application Server that has WebSphere eXtreme Scale integration, you first upgrade WebSphere Application Server with the normal process. Then, install the new version of WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client on your new installation. Then, you can use the xsmigration script to move the WebSphere eXtreme Scale configuration information to the new WebSphere Application Server installation.

Procedure

  1. Migrate the deployment manager-related configuration from Version 7 to Version 8.
    1. Run the WebSphere Application Server backup script. For more information, see WASPreUpgrade command.
    2. Stop the deployment manager.
    3. Access the deployment manager server in your WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client configuration and run the migration script.
      1. Change the directory to: <WXS_v8_install_root>/bin
      2. Run the following command:
        xsmigration.bat|sh -targetwashome <WAS8x_HOME> 
        -sourcewashome <WAS7x_HOME> -targetprofilepath <WAS8x_DmgrProfile>
         -sourceprofilepath <WAS7x_DmgrProfile>
        where
        • <WAS8x_HOME> is the root location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 8.x installation. Example /opt/IBM/WebSphere8
        • <WAS7x_HOME> is the root location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.x installation Example:/opt/IBM/WebSphere7
        • <WAS8x_DmgrProfile> is the location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 8.x deployment manager profile. Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere8/profiles/DMgr01
        • <WAS7x_DmgrProfile> is the location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.x deployment manager profile. Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere7/profiles/DMgr01
  2. Migrate the application server related configuration from Version 7 to Version 8.
    1. Change the directory to: <WXS_v8_install_root>/bin.
    2. Run the following command:
      xsmigration.bat|sh -targetwashome <WAS8x_HOME> 
      -sourcewashome <WAS7x_HOME> -targetprofilepath <WAS8x_AppServerProfile>
       -sourceprofilepath <WAS7x_AppServerProfile>
      where
      • <WAS8x_HOME> is the root location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 8.x installation. Example /opt/IBM/WebSphere8
      • <WAS7x_HOME> is the root location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.x installation Example:/opt/IBM/WebSphere7
      • <WAS8x_AppServerProfile> is the location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 8.x application server profile. Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere8/profiles/AppServer01
      • <WAS7x_AppServerProfile> is the location of the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.x application server profile. Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere7/profiles/AppServer01
  3. Restart the WebSphere Application Server Version 8 deployment manager and synchronize all the managed nodes.
