If anyone has stripped an 8.1 server of the ITSM and CMDB objects and reverted 
to naked AR Server for custom-only devleopment, let me know your experiences.

Hi Ray,

We didn't strip it afterwards, but we are custom shop without ITSM and
CMDB, so we just installed ARS v8.1.  Completed our dev server a couple of
weeks ago and it is now cutover from the old v7.5 dev server.  They were
complete new server builds, HP X86 hardware, Linux, Oracle 11g, ARS 8.1.
Building test and prod now.  We also did a play server before dev to prove
out that the combination of all the new versions would work together since
they were all new for this installation.

Experience was very good.  One of our best ARS version upgrades.  We've
done several, always building new servers.

Not exactly sure what your questions may be.  I can't even imagine how'd
you strip out ITSM etc since everything links together.

Susan

I agree with Susan.  The effort to rip out ITSM is probably much more
effort than creating a new server and migrating just what you want.  Even
if you put in the effort to figure out what can go and what needs to stay I
still wouldn't be comfortable with that system.  There is just too much
that can go wrong.

oh Ye of little faith!  But if it's already on the system I agree, what's the 
point of stripping it out.  I would however, shut down things like the 
reconciliation engine (of course even with using the CMDB, I've done that - 
it's just way too much overkill for smaller systems.

I just went through this, bare naked install is like a couple of hours max, 
itsm is 18 hours, the reverse of that is a waste of time

thanks to all for the feedback.  I was afraid that the 8.1 installer forced you 
to take ITSM (I obviously haven't taken the time to play yet, hence asking this 
list).  If you can uncheck/leave off ITSM and CMDB etc., so much the better.

Thank you all for your feedback and very happy to hear that if bare ARS is 
still needed, we old crazy people can still get it.  We run ROD here at Sony 
Network Entertainment, but I have an old friend who wants to move to 8.1 on 
dedicated systems ;)

Ray,

I only downloaded the ARS Server v8.1 option.  You do get approval and a
few other things but no part of ITSM.  The total install took less than 2
hr.
