Is it safe to change the Retain Base Storage Path?

JoeAtWork

I have a retain install that the Base Storage Path is presently at: /arcserver

I would like to move it to : /data/arcserver

can I :

  1. stop retain/apache
  2. umount /arcserver
  3. mount /data/arcserver
  4. start topcat/apache
  5. edit /opt/beginfinite/retain/RetainServer//WEB-INF/cfg/ASConfig.cfg to change paths
  6. login as admin and verify the "Server Configuration" "Base Storage Path" to :/data/arcserver
  7. fix the fstab

Is there a way to do this with a GUI?

Thanks,

Joe

    Yes, there is

    In many similar situations I created a symbolic link for the old storage location. i.e. ln -s /data/arcserver /arcserver

    Sometimes it causes less mental work Innocent

    Yes, almost like moving the entire server.

    Is your database in the same path, then there are more things to cover on that front

    Hi Diethmar,

    I think I will follow your suggestion:

    1. stop retain/apache
    2. make backup copy of /opt/beginfinite/retain/RetainServer//WEB-INF/cfg/ASConfig.cfg 
    3. umount /arcserver
    4. mount /data/arcserver
    5. create symlink  ln -s /data/arcserver /arcserver
    6. start topcat/apache
    7. login as admin and chage/verify the "Server Configuration" "Base Storage Path" to :/data/arcserver
    8. fix the fstab

    Thank you Diethmar!
