Migrating Using the Command-Line Interface

The migrate-server command is used to migrate server instances and create Web Server 7.0 configurations using the administration command-line interface (CLI).

The wadm utility is located in install_dir/bin. For detailed information about using the administration CLI, see the man pages and the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 6 CLI Reference Manual document. For basic information that will help you get started, also see Using the Administration Command-Line Interface in this document.

The migrate-server syntax is as follows:

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

The following examples demonstrate how to use the command-line interface to migrate one or several server instances.

Migrating a Single Instance

The following is an example of using the CLI to migrate a single instance from Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 to 7.0 using the same name for the migrated configuration as the 6.0 or 6.1 instance :

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][[--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

--instance=instance_name
--server-root=6.xwebserver_install_root

where, for example, 6.xwebserver_install_root might be/opt/SUNWwbsvr and instance_name might be https-foo.com.

The following is an example of migrate a single instance from Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 to 7.0 using a different name from the 6.0 or 6.1 instance for the migrated configuration:

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][[--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

--instance=instance_name
--config=new-foo
--server-root=6.xwebserver_install_root

where, for example, 6.x webserver_install_root might be/opt/SUNWwbsvr and instance_name might be https-foo.com.

The following is an example to migrate single instance from Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 to 7.0 using a different name from the 6.0 or 6.1 instance for the migrated configuration.

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][[--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

--instance=instance_name
--config=new-foo
--server-root=6.xwebserver_install_root

where, for example, 6.x webserver_install_root might be/opt/SUNWwbsvr and instance_name might be https-foo.com.

The following is an example of migrate single instance from Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 to 7.0 using a different name from the 6.0 or 6.1 instance for the migrated configuration.

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

--instance=instance_name
--config=new-foo
--search-collection-copy-path=custom_path
--server-root=6.xwebserver_install_root

where, for example, 6.x webserver_install_root might be/opt/SUNWwbsvr and instance_name might be https-foo.com.

The following is an example of migrate single instance from Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 to 7.0 using a different name from the 6.0 or 6.1 instance for the migrated configuration. Specify a different log directory for migration logs:

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][[--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

--instance=instance_name
--config=new-foo
--search-collection-copy-path=custom_path
--log-dir=log_path
--server-root=6.xwebserver_install_root

where, for example, 6.x webserver_install_root might be/opt/SUNWwbsvr and instance_name might be https-foo.com.

Migrating All Instances

The following is an example of using the CLI to migrate all instances from Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 to 7.0:

wadm> migrate-server [--user=admin-user] [--passwordfile=admin-pswd-file][--host=admin-host][--port=admin-port][--no-ssl][--rcfile=rcfile][--echo][--no-prompt][--verbose][--search-collection-copy-path=directory][[--log-dir=directory]([--all|[--config=newconfigname[--instance=instancename]) --server-root=path

-all=true
--server-root=6.xwebserver_install_root

where, for example, 6.x webserver_install_root might be/opt/SUNWwbsvr.
