Cloning one Maximo 7.5 Administrative Environment to Another Machine

Link: Cloning one Maximo 7.5 Administrative Environment to Another Machine

Question

Can you clone/port a Maximo environment to another machine without doing a full install on the second machine.

Answer

You can attempt to clone/port a Maximo environment to another machine from a machine where Maximo has been installed. On both machines Maximo must reside in the same location. If Maximo was installed on the E drive on machine 1 it needs to be setup on the E drive on machine 2. The operating system on both machines must be identical. If one is Windows 2003 SP2 64-bit, the second machine must be the same. It can not be for example Windows 2003 SP2 32-bit or Windows 2003 64-bit.
This assumes the middleware has been installed and configured.
On the first machine:
1. Zip the ibm\smp folder

2. Backup the database this Maximo connects

On the second machine:
