IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

---

Upgrade a 32 bit portal server to 64 bit

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).

The following procedure allows you to manually perform this conversion from 32 bit to 64 bit.

1. Use 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.

2. Invoke tepsBackup from the /ITM_installdir/bin directory:

   cd /ITM_installdir/bin
   ./tepsBackup

   where:

   ITM_installdir

   is the root location of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment.

   This process creates a compressed tar file with default and customized application data in the /ITM_installdir/tmp directory.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Invoke tepsRestore from the /ITM_installdir/bin directory:

   cd /ITM_installdir/bin
   ./tepsRestore
