Continue until the end of the wizard and then allow the wizard to move the files for you. </P><P></P><P>Ian</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 03 Apr 2010 11:48:08 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/can-I-move-SnapInfo-folder-location/m-p/68106#M15873 panting 2010-04-03T11:48:08Z Re: can I move SnapInfo folder location https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/can-I-move-SnapInfo-folder-location/m-p/68111#M15876 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">Hello Guys,</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"> </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">I need to know what will be the best practise regarding the actual&nbsp; location for the log files and databases while utilizing SnapManager for Exchange.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"> </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">At the moment we run 2 jobs to record snapshots for both database and log files.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">The log files for my exchange reside on their own lun separatly from the database lun.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"> </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">However, jobs to back up the database, the database logs and the actual location for the sme_snapinfo (directory for the actual snap data) reside on </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">the same exchange log files lun.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"> </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">I see this been a bit risky and not a good practise. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"> </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">What is the best suggestion regarding sme_snapinfo location.... </SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">Does it need to be on its own lun?</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">Do I need to re-run the setup to change the location?</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"> </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">Thanks</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:55:44 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/can-I-move-SnapInfo-folder-location/m-p/68111#M15876 SEAHERO2010 2011-08-12T12:55:44Z Re: can I move SnapInfo folder location https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/can-I-move-SnapInfo-folder-location/m-p/68115#M15879 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P> As a best practice you can place the Exchange transaction log files and the Snap Info directory on the same LUN.<SPAN style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Helvetica;"> </SPAN></P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:38:40 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/can-I-move-SnapInfo-folder-location/m-p/68115#M15879 NarayanKumar 2011-08-12T16:38:40Z
