Hi,

I am in the process of moving DFM server as our DB was growing and running out of space. In the new environment I have mapped a LUN to store DFM DB as it can be easily expanded later on. My question is if I install DFM on C:'\ (local drive) how do I point DFM to save the DB on D:\ drive. I dont want to install DFM on D:\ because then space on C:\ is going to waste. thanks in advance.

HI,

Use "dfm datastore setup" command to move DFM db to different location:

dfm datastore setup help

NAME
setup -- configure DataFabric Manager data on a different location

SYNOPSIS
dfm datastore setup [ -n ] [ -f ] { dfm-data-dir | [ -d dbDir ]
[ -l dbLogDir ] [ -p perfArchiveDir ]
[ -s scriptDir ] [ -r reportsArchiveDir ]
[ -P pluginsDir ] }

DESCRIPTION
    -n specifies that the data present at target location will be used
        without copying original data.
    -f specifies that the data should be deleted from target location if it is not empty.
    dfm-data-dir specifies DataFabric Manager target root directory for data.
    -d specifies the new location for database data file.
    -l specifies the new location for database transaction log file.
    -p specifies the new location for perf data files.
    -s specifies the new location for script output data.
    -r specifies the new location for report archival data.
    -P specifies the new location for Storage System configuration plugins.
    Example: dfm datastore setup /opt/dfmdata/
             dfm datastore setup -d /opt/dfm/data/ -p /opt/dfm/perf/ -s /opt/dfm/script/.

Hope this is useful.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi,

Please execute "dfm datastore setup D:\ drive" command to move your all dfm data to " D:\ drive" directory.
