To migrate a stand-alone environment to new hardware, use
the following procedure.
Procedure
Install the migration target products on the system that
will serve as the target for the migration. You must install
the identical product versions and fix packs on the target system
as you have on the source system.
Important: You must either
install the target version with the same user ID as that used for
installing the source version or have permission to access the configuration
and data on the source installation.
Important: To
migrate from source profiles augmented by multiple products, the new
version of those products must be installed into the same target installation
directory. For example, if the source profile is augmented by IBM® Business Process Manager and IBM Business
Monitor, both
of those products must be installed into the same target installation
directory.
Stop the migration source server.
Stop
the migration source server using the stopServer command
from theprofile_root/bin directory
on the migration source system or from the profile's First steps console.
Use the following syntax:
If the profile has security enabled, the user name provided must
be a member of the operator or administrator role.
If security is enabled, the -username and -password parameters
do not have to be specified if the server is running as a Windows
service. In this case, the parameters are automatically passed into
the script that the Windows service uses to shut down the server.
If the profile does not have security enabled, the -username and
-password parameters are not necessary.
For more information about the stopServer command,
see stopServer command in the WebSphere® Application
Server information
center.
Back up the migration source profile.
Back
up the profile configuration on the migration source server using
the backupConfig command.
Use the following
syntax to back up a profile named profile1 to /ProfileBackups/profile1.zip:
Start
the migration target server using the startServer command
from the profile_root/bin directory
of the migration target server or from the target profile's First
steps console. Use the following syntax:
startServer.sh server_name
startServer.bat server_name
For more information about the startServer command,
see startServer command in the WebSphere Application
Server information
center.
Results
The stand-alone environment is migrated to the target version.
