moving the message store

Postby tripleB » Fri Sep 01, 2006 11:46 pm

I've installed Scalix successfully in test environment, but now i want the message store on the mirror raid not the OS drive.

Is it possible or do i have to re-install.

advice appreciated

Cheers
Ken

The quickest way is to tar up /var/opt/scalix to a file, delete the data from /var/opt/scalix, mount the RAID partition to /var/opt/scalix and then restore from the tar file.

You must make sure that you preserve permissions as you will only have trouble afterwards if you don't. Using tar or cp -p will ensure permissions are preserved.

One thing to point out about using RAID is that you should NOT use RAID 5 as this will give you performance problems. We've had a number of customers report performance issues only to find that their RAID configuration is RAID 5 and not RAID 1+0 (RAID 10).

Cheers
