Name
nbdb_move — move location of the NBDB database files after installation
SYNOPSIS
-data data_directory [-index index_directory] [-tlog log_directory] [-mlog log_directory] [-config_only] [-owner EMM | DBM | DARS]
On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/db/bin/
On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\
DESCRIPTION
nbdb_move moves the NBDB and the BMRDB database files from the default directory locations to customer-specified directories. This action separates data from indexes and transaction logs to improve performance. This command also moves database data files and transaction files to the following default location:
On UNIX systems: /usr/openv/db/data.
On Windows systems: install_path\NetBackupDB\data.
Caution:
Veritas supports moving the NetBackup catalog to a non-default location on a Windows cluster after installation or upgrade. Before any upgrades, however, you must move the NetBackup catalog back to the default location for the upgrade to succeed. Do not attempt a NetBackup upgrade if the catalog is not in the default location. You master server is rendered unusable if you fail to move the database back to the default location before upgrade.
Note:
In a cluster environment, nbdb_move moves the database files to the desired location and changes the VXDBMS_NB_DATA entry in bp.conf on the active node. However, you must manually change the VXDBMS_NB_DATA entry in bp.conf on the inactive node.
OPTIONS
- -config_only
Updates the configuration files with the directory locations specified. The database files are not moved. Use this option in a recovery operation when the database files were already relocated manually and need their configuration settings to be saved.
- -data data_directory
Moves the main database files to the customer-specified directories that data_directory designates.
- -index index_directory
Changes the directory of the index database files.
- -mlog log_directory
Creates a mirrored transaction log and puts it in a designated directory location. If a mirrored log already exists, this command can be used to move it to a different location.
- -owner EMM | DBM | DARS]
Moves the database data, index, or log files for a specified data space.
- -tlog log_directory
Changes the transaction log directory.
