Like Fred told it’s possible, I have a customer who did that to create a whole Server Group (copying /bmc/ and /arsystem/ folders from one server and changing some folders and cons files) but the « trick » is that there are quite some server references to alter (ar.conf, armonitor.conf, several pluginsvr_config.xml, FTS, paths, arsystem path etc...) and it wasn’t complete. So Server Group did work « kinda » (90% of plugins failed, AIS and FTS failed, very bad performances etc…). You can do a « grep » on « xml » and « conf » files to detect where the server reference is used and of course modify the paths if needed but it’s easy to miss little things.
It could (?) have a impact if you try to apply a SP or an upgrade too since installation xml files could have bad server references / paths, but on this I’m not sure. > Le 29 avr. 2015 à 23:55, Grooms, Frederick W <[email protected]> a > écrit : > > While it is possible to copy the binaries on AIX, it is not recommended. > > On all Unix platforms you can find the location of the AR System binaries by > looking at the file /etc/arsystem/SERVERNAME/armonitor.conf (SERVERNAME > being the name of the ARS server) > The lines in there will tell you where your binaries are. > It will also tell you what user the app is running under (should be the owner > of the armonitor.conf file) > > Fred > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) > [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of > Williamson, Victoria <CTR> > Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 2:20 PM > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: System questions (7.6.04) > > ** > AIX > > V/R, > > Vic > X 85462 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) > [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of > Grooms, Frederick W > Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 2:11 PM > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: System questions (7.6.04) > > ** > What OS? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) > [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of > Williamson, Victoria <CTR> > Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 12:21 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: System questions (7.6.04) > > ** > Greetings. > > I have two systems that I have inherited, one is stable and one is not.
