Changing the location of a Storage Group or database

The Configuration wizard enables you to change the location of a Storage Group or database that you had associated with a LUN, or local disk, if you want to change your configuration plan.

About this task

The list of available drives changes as you make choices that rule out other choices.

If the Exchange system file path for a Storage Group is on the database LUN (placed for a previous version of SnapManager), and then you use the Configuration wizard to reconfigure a database path of the Storage Group or file path of the transaction log, then the Configuration wizard automatically moves the system file path to the same LUN as the file path of the transaction log.

Steps

In the Actions pane, click Configuration wizard.
Under Database Location Results, highlight the Storage Group or database you want to move, and click Reconfigure.
The selected Storage Group or database is returned to the list of unconfigured databases, and you can re-associate it with any available disk.
Step through the wizard, and review the configuration summary in the Completing the Configuration Wizard page, and click Finish.
Click Start Now.
Note: If you are moving the location of Exchange databases in this step, it could take some time to complete.
Click OK.
