Hello
I’ve tried to move the Data directory as following:
shut down domino-server
move directory to new disk
change notes.ini data-directory path
reinstall server with new data-directory path
reboot windows-server
i tought thats the way to do it.
But after starting domino, it was still searching the files etc. in the old data directory and i had to revert my changes.
anyone got info how to do this correctly?
Thanks
kind regards
Tibor
Subject: If you are using DAOS…
and if your the DAOS data is located under the data directory (the default) …
you need to update the daos base directory in the server configuration doc (DAOS tab) before you shut down the server.
On shutdown, the server will refresh the DAOSBasePath ini to show the new path ( you cannot just “fix” the path in the ini directly, the server doc will overwrite it )
with server down
a) verify DAOSBasePath is correct
b) relocate data directory as perscribed by John
restart server
This might be a good opportunity to move DAOS to an absolute path and get it out from under the data directory :-)… Make sure that Domino has full access to the directory that you move DAOS to (might want to chown it to the Notes user/group but I don’t think this is technically necessary )
The default of {Domino data directory}\DAOS is used because it is a well known path with known security permissions (on unix)
Subject: Sounds like what you did should of worked to me…
Check if multiple notes.ini exist… Look in domino program directory and domino data directory… If not a partion server it should be using the one in the program directory
Send me a copy of notes.ini at 4 points…
Now before you start
After you make the edits
After you run the Domino Installer
After your restart Domino
Subject: John, I’ve just got to say - you rock.
Your troubleshooting and assistance in this forum (and the 8.5.1 Beta forum) is fantastic.
Thanks again.
