Changing Vault store partition type

[Brian_Spooner]

I just moved the files for a Vault store partition from an NTFS volume to a new NetApp CIFS share following this KB http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/273271.htm. In Vault Admin, the Device type of the partitiis still set to NTFS volume though. I'd like to change this to make it NetApp. All of the old closed partitions are NTFS device type, and my two new open ones are NetApp device type. However, when I look at the PartitionEntry table in SQL it shows DeviceType = 0 for every single partition (open & closed). This seems confusing since they're not all the same Device Type in Vault Admin. Is there any other place to set this? Does it even matter?

Thanks,
-Brian

I believe this is purely cosmetic, though I am lookin in SQL where this could be changed and was sure it was the partitionentry table under device type but cannot appear to change it!!! If I find out I will let you know.

I believe that anything that is not Centera will be 0 and Centera is 1

That's a little bit more complicated.

The Setting is stored in ExtendedSetting Table.

You should change the "settingTypeId" from NTFS (1020) to CIFS/Network (1000).
The RootId is your PartitionEntryId from the PartitionEntry Table.

HUH???? I would not be going changing anything in that table

[MichelZ]

Relax Paul...  It's only the Partition type ;)

Oh, if you want to know what the statuses mean, go to the "SettingType" Table, and see the "settingTypeId" of 1000 and 1020.
