iwmigrate from TS 5.5.2 to TS 6.5

i have instructions to how to migrate my backing store from TS 5.5.2 to TS 6.5 SP2. but there is some confusion that i need to clarify.
the command to migrate is:
[Windows]
iwmigrate -m Y:/default -o E:\new-iw-store -b /default/main -g >>
incremental_migrate_log.txt 2>&1

and my question is.. do i run this command in the source "ts 5.5.2" or in the target "TS 6.5"?
and it said that TS 5.5.2 should be shutdown while i making a copy of iw-store (backing store). how about TS 6.5? does it have to be stopped while migrating?

from my understaning, to migrate, i just need to copy the iw-store from ts 5.5.2 to somewhere in the TS 6.5 and then run the command above "iwmigrate ...". and that should give me ready store for TS6.5 to use?

In order to run iwmigrate, TS 6.5 should be up and running and the default store should point to TS5.5.2 store which you copied over, if you are going with fresh install.

yes i am doing fresh installation, and i run iwmigrate on TS 6.5? sorry to repeat the question Smiley Very Happy

but i just want to be 101% sure.

There are basically two ways to do this - both involve running the iwmigrate process on the TARGET (6.5) server, and both require that that TARGET store be deactivated - either by disabling it with iwstoreadm (if you have multiple stores) or (I believe) stopping TS:

)The second method is easiest. We've done this on my current project (552SP4 on Solaris 8 to 671 on Solaris10).

I too would say second step mentioned in the previous thread is easiet
