Subject: increase disk space

If you have room put in more disk into the OS (or get an external storage system (Direct attached or NAS or SAN). Then in Domino files tab create a LINK to point to a Folder on that storage , ie link MAIL. This will show to domino as being in the Data directory but is now. No effect to the domino server. DBCACHE FLUSH etc.

dbcache fulsh

Cut the folder out of the Data directory

Paste into new storage

Create folder link

Done

** note**

NAS requires iSCSCI card because keeping the link whilst the server is logged out is an issue. (mapped drive)

Lastly there is a pssoible issue where if you dont add permissions to the folder it will not appear. This is easy to fix. OPEN the .DIR file in the data directory and remove the black line under the path. Save and Close… all done
