Hi,
Has anyone installed tivoli foundations service manager on an existing server as apposed to using the actual foundations box that it comes pre-installed on from IBM?
We have a copy of this running on a server and previously had it backing up on to an external disk (set up by a previous employee) and this disk died.
We have the new USB drive in place, the server can see it, when we do a hardware status from within the Lotus Console it can see it, however it does not appear under the backup section.
All of the documentation I can find is around replacing the backup disk on the actual black and yellow IBM foundations server only,
Thanks,
Hi Matt,
I haven't worked on lotus. What I have done before on maximo in windows is copy the IBM folder to the new location. Edit the properties file to update the database path etc. Rebuild the ear and deploy the new ear on the middleware. :) it works on Maximo 6 and 7 versions.
Regards,

Hi thanks for the reply,..
I just managed to get it running in the last few minutes,..
Foundations runs on SUSE LINUX and the Lotus Foundations server backs Maximo up on a daily basis on to an IDB disk,
The issue was that Foundations could see this UDB Drive in a hardware scan, but was not available to configure as an IDB disk.
I managed to fix this by quickly building a new VMWare image with Lotus Foundations running, attached the USB disk and it then prompted me as to whether I wanted this configured as an IDB disk,.. clicked yes, once finished I just unplugged it from my laptop and in to the server and that was it, it picked it up and the backup jobs were already there scheduled.
Not sure why our proper Maximo couldn't do this? but its working now,
thanks,
