Hi,

i'm using ABR11 with dedup. I want to move the Database to a new drive. Based on SSDs with more performance. How can i do this? Stop the StorageNode and move the files? Which one?

thanks!

There's two approaches I'd consider:

First of all: Backup your StorageNode-Server unless you trust me deeply (and the StorageServer.exe)

1) Stop storagenode. Move the dedup DB to the new drive (same path) and then switch drive letters so that the Dedup DB is available under the exactly same path as before. Start Storagenode - you should be good. This works if your Dedup-DB was on a seperate drive before.

2) Detach the Depot from the storagenode, move the Dedup-DB to the new location, reattach the Depot, specifying the new location of the Dedup-DB.

With the current beta 17318 I would suggest Option 1 if possible. Option 2 might be cleaner, but StorageNode 17318 sometimes has problems detaching and reattaching Depots,
