what directories are required by an MSDP drive?

[manatee]

having changed my PureDisk drive gave me an insight into the directories that MSDP/PureDisk requires:

• data
• databases
• etc
• history
• queue
• spool
• tmp
• var

this is what i think it requires to work but since i still have other directories in my PureDisk drive, i need to double check before deleting those other directories.

You shouldn't really start messing with directories/data on a MSDP pool, without full knowledge of how  MSDP works, no one can give you valid guidance.

If you don't think file directory struture is valid , create a new MSDP pool on another media servers and decom the old disk pool. Don't try to do clean-up.
