This topic describes how to migrate a WebSphere® Extended Deployment
Compute Grid Version 6.1.0.x cell
to a WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid Version 6.1.1
cell.
About this task
Follow these steps to upgrade your existing WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid Version 6.1.0.x to
a WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid Version 6.1.1
cell.
Procedure
- Install WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version
7.0.x on the workstation hosting the deployment manager. Specify
a different installation location than the location in which Version
6.1.0.x exists. For more information, see Installing the product and additional software in
the WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version 7.0
Information Center.
- Create a Version 7.0.x deployment manager profile. Use the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command.
See Managing profiles in the WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version 7.0 Information
Center.
- Migrate the deployment manager to your Version 7.0.x cell. You can use the Migration wizard or you can run the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade commands.
The WASPreUpgrade command saves the configuration
of Version 6.1 to a migration-specific backup directory, and the WASPostUpgrade command
retrieves the saved configuration. For more information, see the WASPreUpgrade command and WASPostUpgrade command.
- Install WebSphere Virtual Enterprise and WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid on the workstation
hosting the Version 7.0.x deployment manager, and augment the profile
for Virtual Enterprise and Compute Grid. See Planning the product installation for more information.
- Create a Version 6.1.1 scheduler managed node and Version
6.1.1 execution endpoint managed node on the Version 6.1.1 workstation.
- Federate those nodes into the cell.
- Augment the profiles with the xd_augment and wxdcg_augment
profile templates.
The Version 6.1.1 scheduler managed node will host the
Job scheduler application, and the Version 6.1.1 execution endpoint
managed nodes will host the Compute Grid endpoint application
and your Compute Grid applications.
- Use the appropriate Migrate*.ddl in
the ${was.install.root}/longRunning directory
to migrate the lree and lrsched datasources that migrated from the
Version 6.1 cell.
- Uninstall the Version 6.1 LongRunningScheduler application
from your new cell.
- Configure the Version 6.1.1 job scheduler using the JobScheduler
panel of the administrative console. Configuring the Version 6.1.1
job scheduler causes the Version 6.1.1 LongRunningScheduler application
to be installed.
- Use the Migration wizard or the XDUpgrade command
to migrate the deployment manager to Version 6.1.1:
To
migrate the product using the wizard, run the following script to
start the wizard:
![[For Linux operating system]](../images/linux.gif)
install_root/bin/xd_migration.sh
install_root\bin\xd_migration.bat
As part of the wizard steps, specify the location and profile
path from which to migration Version 6.1.0.x, and the directory in
which to save the migration log files. To migrate the
product using the XDUpgrade command, run the following
script:
![[For Linux operating system]](../images/linux.gif)
target_profile/bin/XDUpgrade.sh
target_profile\bin\XDUpgrade.bat
- Migrate the remaining nodes one at a time. The
procedure to migrate each node is similar to the preceding procedure,
except WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version 7.0.x
is already exists in your environment, and you create and augment
custom profiles instead of a deployment manager profile.
- Use the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command
to create a WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version
7.0.x custom profile.
- Augment the custom profile with the Virtual Enterprise and Compute Grid profile templates. The following example augments a custom profile with the xd_augment
profile template:
./manageprofile.sh|bat -augment -templatePath install_root/profileTemplates/xd_augment/managed
The following example augments the custom profile with the
wxdcg_augment profile template:
./manageprofile.sh|bat -augment -templatePath install_root/profileTemplates/wxdcg_augment/managed
- Migrate the node from WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Version 6.1.0.x to Version
7.0.x. Use the Migration wizard or run the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade commands.
- Migrate the node to the Version 6.1.1 cell. Use
the Migration wizard or run the XDUpgrade command.
