Migrating Content store from T.S6.5 to TS 6.7.1 sp1

I have to migrate store from TS6.5 to TS6.7.1SP1
I installed TS6.7.1sp1. I copied TS 6.5 content store to a new location. I made this 6.5 content store as a default by editing /etc/defaultiwstore.
file.In that i specified the 6.5 store location. Then it has become default store.
I created secondary store, it is new 6.7.1 sp1 content store. To create secondary store i changed IW.cfg file

I added following line in the iw.cfg file.

store_directory_default671sp1=/opt/iw-store/newiw-store/default671sp1
store_comment_default671sp1=Default new 671sp1store

I migrated necessary branches only

Now how to convert secondary store as a default store.

I have done the following steps, then i lost the newly created store with migrated branches

1. Deactivated the secondary store using iwstoreadm -d
2. stopped TS.
3. Commented secondary store entry in iw.cfg

4. Renamed secondary store name to default.

/opt/iw-store/newiw-store/default671sp1 --> /opt/iw-store/newiw-store/default

5. I have updated defaultiwstore store location
/opt/iw-store/newiw-store

6. Restarted the TS
I can see fresh default store. I am not able to see migrated store [renamed secondary store].

Please help me.

I think you did it backwards - you should have used the iw.cfg entry for the old store and left the new 671 default store where it was so that when you were done with the migration it would be in the default store.

Did you change the entry in the iw.cfg when you renamed / moved the new store?

Thanks Ghoti,
Yes, I modified iw.cfg. I commented out the secondary store entry

# store_directory_default671sp1=/opt/iw-store/newiw-store/default671sp1
# store_comment_default671sp1=Default new 671sp1store

What you are saying is,

1. I should not change the store location in /etc/defaultiwstore . Need to keep original store location
2. Copy 6.5 content store.
3. Give new name to default 6.5 content store
2. Edit iw.cfg, Put TS 6.5 store as secondary store
3. Stop and restart TS
4. Migrate branch from secondary TS6.5 store to TS 6.7.1 SP1 content store using iwmigrate
5. once I migrated the branches, i have to deactivate secondary store using iwstoreadm -d
6. Stop TS
7. Comment out the secondary store entry in iw.cfg
8. Restart TS

So I have to migrate everything onemoretime. is their a way to get all the previously migrated resources?

Thanks

The steps above are, I believe, correct.
Whether or not you can correct your existing situation without going through a complete re-migration - I'm not sure - but you should probably talk to Support before you do anything else as it might save you hours, days, or perhaps weeks or more of time.
