Restoring IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Tivoli Enterprise Portal server, and agent configuration settings

After you backed up the entire contents of the repository directories and the agent configuration files by using an application such as Tivoli® Storage Manager client, you can restore them to the original location.

Procedure

To restore the IBM® Tivoli Monitoring and Tivoli Enterprise Portal repository directories and the agent configuration files, complete the following steps:

Restore the DERBY database that you backed up to the directory that was created by the monitoring agent on the system where the agent runs. If there are multiple monitoring agents that are installed on one system, they all use this directory. The default directory is:
```
/opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting/itm/tables/DERBY
```
```
C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\reporting\ITM\TMAITM6\DERBY
```
Tip: If the monitoring agent is started from a command shell, the DERBY directory is created in the current directory from where it is started.
Restore the collection of binary files that were created by the monitoring agent to their directories. The system where these files are located depends on the collection location that is specified in the historical settings for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal server.
- TEMA binary files are restored to the monitoring agent system in the following directory:
```
/opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting/itm/aix*/sk/hist/agent_instance_name
```
  Where * is the system-specific architecture, such as aix526.
```
/opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting/itm/l*/sk/hist/agent_instance_name
```
  Where * is the system-specific architecture, such as li6263.
```
installation_directory\ITM\TMAITM6\logs\History\KSK\agent_instance_name
```
- TEMS binary files are restored to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring system in the following directory:
```
installation_directory\itm\CMS\agent_instance_name
```
The monitoring agent configuration files must also be restored if they were modified. Restore the agent configuration files to their location on the system where the agent is installed, for example:
```
installation_directory/itm/config/sk.ini
installation_directory/itm/config/sk_agent_instance_name.config
```
where installation_directory is the installation directory. The default is /opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting.
```
installation_directory\itm\tmaitm6\kskenvagent_instance_name
```
where installation_directory is the installation directory. The default is C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\reporting.
