Consolidate DAOS directories

I have 3 DAOS directories, and need to consolidate them all into 1. How do i move these into 1?

I am getting ready to decommission 1 server, and need to deal with 500 gb’s of NLO files.

Anyone have any ideas on how i can move all of these it to a new location? I found this to change to a new location, but what about all of the NLO files i have now?

This allows me to move to a new location, but not merge all 3 directories into one.

Any thought

Thank you all for your time

Can’t you connect the servers and move the databases with the Move command to one server?If so your server will handle it all.

If not, the best you can do is to turn off DAOS for the databases you want to move by using the compact -c -daos off command.

Working with tech support, this is the plan.

I have 3 servers. I need 2 of them to reverse the attachments back to the mail files. So i can then point the servers to a new location for off-site backups.

  1. Issue ‘compact -c -daos off’ on the 2 servers to re-integrate the attachments from the DAOS directiers back into the NSF (when complete these directories should be empty.)

  2. On the 3rd server DAOS will still be running and removing all of the attachments to its DAOS location (This is the server that is off-site, and being backed up.)

  3. Then on the other 2 servers (The 2 from step 1) you will then enter a new DAOS directory location. ( mine will point to a different folder location on the server being backed up.)

  4. On the same 2 servers run the following command ‘compact -c daos on’

I am testing all of this now.
