Re: Replicating ARS Installation on Linux

Hi :)

I'm not sure it'll be that easy.

You also have a "/etc/arsystem/servername/" folder with "armonitor.conf" file for example.
Then when you install ARS there are some manual steps to be applied if you don't install on root, for example some files to be copied, declaring RPC ports in "/etc/rpc/", check the "installation guides" for a complete list.
You also have a lot of places where the server name is written, in files like ar.conf, all the "pluginsrv_config.xml" files, but also in database and some forms (attached files, reports...).

If you just copy the files like this I doubt you'll be able to just start ARS.

As for tomcat I would go for a clean mid-tier installation, should take minutes.

Hello,

I installed ARS 7.6.04 on a RHEL 5.3 on top of Oracle.

Tomcat was installed at /opt/apache and ARS (with all the applications) was installed at /opt/bmc. I want to replicate this setup on a different machine. Just wanted to know if following would work

1. Using expdp take dump of ARADMIN schema on existing machine

2. tar zip /opt/bmc and /opt/apache folders on existing machine

3. Install Oracle on another machine say machine2

4. Using impdp restore ARADMIN schema on machine2

5. restore folders /opt/bmc and /opt/apache on machine2

6. Change ar.conf file to point to correct database

7. Change license key

Has anyone tried this approach?
