Migrating a Version 6.0 Configuration Manager to Version 6.1 on distributed systems

Migrate a Version 6.0 Configuration Manager to Version 6.1.

You can migrate the Configuration Manager to the new version on the same computer. If you want to move the Configuration Manager to another computer (with the same or a different operating system), you can backup the Version 6.0 Configuration Manager and restore it in a Version 6.1 installation.

Select the topic that is appropriate to your environment:

Migrating a Version 6.0 Configuration Manager to Version 6.1

Before you start

If the Configuration Manager runs in a locale that is not listed in Locales, check that the code page is one of the supported code pages and that the locale is set up correctly.

To migrate a Version 6.0 broker on distributed operating systems to Version 6.1, complete the following steps:
  1. Install WebSphere® Message Broker Version 6.1 as a new instance on the computer where WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 is installed.
  2. Stop the Version 6.0 Configuration Manager.
  3. Set up a Version 6.1 command environment.
    • Linux platform UNIX platform On Linux® and UNIX® systems, run the environment profile mqsiprofile.
    • Windows platform On Windows®, open a Command Console from the Start menu.
  4. Enter the mqsimigratecomponents command to migrate the Configuration Manager. For example:
    mqsimigratecomponents ConfigMgr
  5. Start the Version 6.1 Configuration Manager.

Moving the Configuration Manager

Before you start

To complete this task you must have either a Version 6.0 or a Version 6.1 Message Broker Toolkit available.

If the Configuration Manager runs in a locale that is not listed in Locales, check that the code page is one of the supported code pages and that the locale is set up correctly.

To migrate a Version 6.0 Configuration Manager on a distributed operating system to Version 6.1 to a different computer, complete the following steps:
  1. Stop the Version 6.0 Configuration Manager.
  2. Backup the Configuration Manager repository. Use the mqsibackupconfigmgr command to save the component's internal resource and setup information.
  3. Install WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 on the target computer. For detailed instructions, see the Installation Guide.
  4. Set up the correct Version 6.1 command environment.
    • Linux platform UNIX platform On Linux and UNIX systems, run the environment profile mqsiprofile.
    • Windows platform On Windows, open a Command Console from the Start menu.
  5. Restore the Configuration Manager on the second computer. Use the mqsirestoreconfigmgr command to create the component and retrieve the saved repository.
  6. Start the Version 6.1 Configuration Manager.
  7. In the workbench, start a deploy action to all brokers. This action causes the Version 6.1 Configuration Manager to subscribe to broker status messages.
When you have migrated the Configuration Manager, ensure that you have migrated the rest of the components:

When you have completed these tasks, see the post-migration tasks for information about tasks that you might want to perform after migration.
