EV 10 SQL Database volume restructure
Hi,
We have EV SQL databases including SQL system databases in H:\ drive which is currently a spanned Volume in windows 2008 R2.
We would like to restructure that H:\ drive by removing spans, can we do the following
Stop all EV services
Stop SQL service
Copy H:\* into a temp location
Delete H:\ spanned volume
Recreate H:\ using another physical disk
Copy back H:\* from temp location
Start SQL
Start EV
That should work fine?
Many Thanks
Sure,
You can also add the new disk and copy the databases to the new volume. This will have a better fall-back senario as this will keep the 'old' location intact.
See this technote how to copy/move databases:
