Hello all
I have a customer that has ran out of disk space on the local /OPT parition and are looking to add a new harddrive for extra space. This new drive should work for them until a more long term disk array is available. In the meantime I found this article on how to move the DFM database from one directory to another ( basiclly another HD on the system ) ... my question is ... what about the existing perfdata collected in the /perfdata directory?
If i shut down DFM services and move the monitordb/log files can I also move the /perfdata directory to the new location?
can i create a /data directory in the destination parition and have the monitor files there and a subfolder for the perfdata?
Here is an article on moving the database:
https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb3841
To move the database and log files from one location to different, non-default install location on the same Operations Manager server, use the dfm database command:
- If you are moving the database file location on the same computer, stop all services and verify all services have stopped.
dfm service stop
dfm service list - Move the monitordb.db and monitordb.log files to the new location using standard file copy tools.
- Set the dbDir and dbLogDir locations. The new locations in the example commands are subsets of the default install path:
Windows
dfm database set dbDir="C:\Program Files\NetApp\DataFabric\DFM\<new_db_location>"
dfm database set dbLogDir="C:\Program Files\NetApp\DataFabric\DFM\<new_db_location>"
Unix
dfm database set dbDir=/opt/NTAPdfm/<new_db_location>
dfm database set dbLogDir=/opt/NTAPdfm/<new_db_location> - Start Operations Manager services and verify all services have started.
dfm service start
dfm service list - Monitor the Operations Manager server.
The curious thing about moving the database here is that there is no mention of moving the perfdata directory and files. I need to look in and see if there is any other steps needed.
