On UNIX, copying the directories should work.. but not right away... Tweak the system as described below..
The only changes you have to do is changing the server connect name in the ar.conf file, and the AR Server ID in the arsystem startup script, to whatever you want it to be on the other two servers, and then rename the directory under /etc/arystem to whatever your AR Server ID is. You will also have to edit the path to the armonitor.conf file in the arystem startup script to match the complete path /etc/arsystem/..... where the armonitor.conf file is. Open up the armonitor.conf file and you will need to edit the server names there to match the name that the particular instance you are creating should use. This is pretty much the gist of what you would need to do. Good luck..

All home grown stuff with no OOB applications. Also migrating to brand new application hosts and database hosts. This will allow us to leave the entire production environment untouched while we do the upgrade. ARS is Solaris 9 with Sybase 12.5 on RHEL Abbreviated Steps: 1. Take a COLD copy of the production database and import to new database host. 2. Run 7.1 install on first server which will perform the necessary updates to the database. This will also include running email and flash boards install. 3. Run 7.1 install on second server and run as a shared install not upgrade. This will also include running email and flash boards install. Question: Step 3: All three installs appear to importing the same forms even though the first install took care of that. This step seems to take the longest, about 25 minutes. I'm talking about the Administrator, email and flash boards forms. A. Is is possible to run the shared install but have it not import anything but just install the necessary files on the host? B. If not, can I just copy the entire install directory from the first host to the second and make sure any host specific files are updated? I was able to actually do part B without any issues but wanted to get the communities take on doing an install that way. Thank you.
