The installation process does not convert an existing 32-bit Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server running
on Linux or UNIX to 64 bit (although it does convert an
existing 32-bit portal server from
a prior release to a 32-bit portal server for
the current release).
About this task
The following procedure allows you to manually perform this
conversion from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Procedure
- Using the product media for the current release, install
and configure the 32-bit Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server for IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
Before proceeding to step 2,
ensure that the portal server is
either completely initialized or completely stopped.
- Invoke tepsBackup from the /ITM_installdir/bin
directory:
cd /ITM_installdir/bin
./tepsBackup
where:- ITM_installdir
- is the root location of your IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment.
This process creates a compressed tar file with
default and customized application data in the /ITM_installdir/tmp
directory.
- Uninstall the 32-bit portal server. If asked to completely
remove the Tivoli® Monitoring
installation directories, answer no; otherwise
the backup tar file will be lost.
- Again using the product media for the current release,
install and configure the 64-bit Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
Before proceeding to step 5,
ensure that the portal server is
either completely initialized or completely stopped.
- Invoke tepsRestore from the /ITM_installdir/bin
directory:
cd /ITM_installdir/bin
./tepsRestore
