Content

Starting from IBM License Metric Tool application update 9.2.20.0, the VM Manager Tool will be supported only on 64-bit operating systems. Instances of the VM Manager Tool that are currently running on 32-bit operating systems will need to be migrated to 64-bit endpoints.
The Uninstall VM Manager Tool fixlet will remain relevant on 32-bit endpoints to allow uninstallation of the VM Manager Tool. However, the following fixlets will be relevant only on 64-bit endpoints:
  • Install VM Manager Tool,
  • Install Additional VM Manager Tool (OPTIONAL),
  • Update VM Manager Tool to version (<version>).
Because only distributed VM Manager Tool could be installed on the 32-bit endpoint, the migration needs to be done by installing a new VM Manager Tool on the 64-bit endpoint, copying configuration files from the old VM Manager Tool to the new one, and then uninstalling the old VM Manager Tool. For more information, see: Advanced VM management (distributed).
