Backing up FglAM to re-image from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 (4274987)

For Windows

==========

1- From Windows services stop fglam or from command line %FGLAM_HOME\bin\fglam --stop

2- Remove Agent_Manager Service: from command line: %FGLAM_HOME\bin\fglam -r
3- Copy %FGLAM_HOME to any external storage device.
4- Proceed with the re-image.
5- Copy %FGLAM_HOME to the newly imaged server.
6- Create new Windows Service from command Line: %FGLAM_HOME\bin\fglam -i
7- Start FglAM Service from Windows Services  or command line %FGLAM_HOME\bin\fglam --start
8- Log into the FMS Web Console and confirm the Agent Manager is listed and working.

Is best practice to generate a FglAM support bundle before any major change in order to save also last configuration files.

Locating the init.d Script

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depending on the operating system you are running, the init.d-style script quest-fglam is installed to a different location either by the Agent Manager installer or after you run the script fglam-init-script-installer.sh.

The locations of the installed init.d script (listed by operating system) are as follows:

• AIX: /etc/rc.d/init.d

• All Linux operating systems: /etc/init.d

• HP-UX: /sbin/init.d

• Solaris: /etc/init.d
