Test Infrastructure: Migration from WebSphere Portal V6.1 on WAS V7.0 to WebSphere Portal V8.0 Owner: Uwe Haller Configuration name: Migration from WebSphere Portal V6.1.0.5 on WAS V7.0.0.19 to WebSphere Portal V8.0 Date of issue: May 23, 2012 Product Version: 8 Document Version: 1.0 1 Abstract The goal of this document is to describe the test infrastructure by which the WebSphere Portal System Verification Test (SVT) team tested the migration of WebSphere Portal V6.1.0.5 based on WAS V7.0.0.19 to WebSphere Portal V8.0 2 Content Introduction This usecase simulates a customer who has purchased WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.5 and configured with external DB, WebServer, and LDAP Server. The usecase includes the migration of SVT specific WCM data, PZN, Virtual Portals, and VMM lookaside data. The software versions used in this test environment are as follows: • V6.1 Source Setup ◦ IBM HTTP Server V6.1 ◦ WebSphere Portal V6.1.0.5 ◦ WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.19 ◦ Oracle R11g (11.1.0.6.0) • V8.0 Target Setup ◦ IBM HTTP Server V8.0 ◦ WebSphere Portal V8.0 ◦ WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.19 ◦ Oracle R11g (11.1.0.6.0) • LDAP Server ◦ IBM Tivoli Directory Server V6.3 3 Infrastructure Diagram 4 Test Drivers Tests were conducted using an Apache HttpClient-based, in-house tool to simulate multiple users performing their various tasks over specific periods of time. 5 Machine Details Purpose Web Server Database Portal LDAP Server Version Operating System Model CPU Memory IHS V6.1 IHS V8.0 Oracle R11g (11.1.0.6.0) V6.1.0.5 V8.0 ITDS V6.3 SunOS 5.9 Solaris Sparc64 2 x 900MHz 2GB SunOS 5.10 Solaris Sparc64 2 x 1200MHz 16GB SunOS 5.10 Solaris Sparc64 2 x 1593MHz 4GB Windows Server 2003 SE Intel 3GHz 4GB 6 Installation • Install WebSphere Portal V6.1 • upgrade to WebSphere Portal V6..1.0.5 • upgrade to WebSphere Portal V6..1.0.5 CF20 • install PM32284, PM49012 • configure Portal to external Database Server • configure Portal to external LDAP server • configure Portal to IBM HTTP Server • populate Portal with following data: ◦ 3 virtual Portals with seperate user populations ◦ populate 8000 pages/portlets on each virtual Portal and the default Portal ◦ install SVT specific PnP (Portlets and Pages) Setup including the PZN Test Suite ◦ configure Base Portal Scenario ◦ import SVT specific WCM showcase data ◦ install SVT specific WCM Riverbend setup ◦ configure WCM/VMM lookaside data 7 Migration • follow the WebSphere Portal Family wiki for migrating Portal V6.1 to V7.0 ◦ http://www10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/Migrating_from_WebSphere_Portal_V6.1.x_on_ a_V7_application_server_wp8 Following link might be useful: • Technote swg21410474 (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space issues might occur when you use installation scripts) ◦ http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21410474 8 Migration Verification Following verification steps have been performed to verify the migrated system • general verification steps ◦ start Portal server and check logs ◦ browse migrated Portal and login ◦ browse migrated virtual Portals and login ◦ verify PZN data ◦ verify migrated themes and skins ◦ verify WCM Riverbend data ◦ verify WCM/VMM lookaside data • running page validation tool to verify that all pages/portlets have been migrated successfully
