Moving content store and mount drive from one location to another

Hi Friends,

I am implementing TS 672 on Solaris 10 box. I have fresh install TeamSite in the partition /xyz/custom. I want to change the location of content store and mount drive from (root) / partition to the partition allocated to the TeamSite(/xyz/custom).
Kindly suggest me the appropriate way for achieving the same.

Thanks,

If you search at forum with "migration". You will get many thread related with this. There is explained process of how to migrate store from one location to other.
There is also a TS Migration guide given by Autonomy Interwoven.

Antharix

you need to point the store the required location. Details on how to do it will be available in the installation / migration documents.

I am trying to locate this guide, TeamSite Migration guide, on the new Autonomy Support site as well. It is not available!

Any help on where to find this document?

We need to migrate content store from one server (TS 671) to another one (TS 671 SP1). We are looking at required steps and best practices around this deliverable.

What OS on server-1?
What OS on server-2?
Were local users and groups used on server-1?

In your case, it sounds like you're looking at copying a backing store from one server to another as opposed to migrating content.

I'm not sure where the exact document is, but the steps are basically:

nipper

Those steps work as long as you are not trying to move from DOS to Unix.

I'm not sure where the exact document is, but the steps are basically:
Stop TS on server-1
Stop TS on server-2
Copy backing store from server-1 to server-2
Restart TS on server-1 (if desired)
Restart TS on server-2
Run iwidmap to fix user and group mappings (read the CLT manual and search for "iwidmap" on Support site, there are several good KBs regarding its usage)
Deactivate and re-activate content store(s) - using iwstoreadm - to apply iwidmap changes

Both server environments are Windows Server 2003 based.

Yes, ghoti, you are right. We are looking into copying/moving content store from one server to another one. Actually, to be more specific, current destination server content store (default) should not be affected with this 'content store move'. Moved content store will be called default022 and we want to see both content stores, existing and moved (at the destination environment).

Thanks for iwidmap pointer. I will look around. One thing is sure, searching for KB articles within 'new' Support site proved to be quite challanging.

So you want to make sure you just copy the specific content-store directory (e.g.:

c:/iw-store/default

) not the entire backing store directory (e.g.:

c:/iw-store

) - and then you need to make entries in

iw.cfg

to point to the secondary store (these have been posted about before and do appear in the manuals somewhere)

However, this brings up another question: How long do you expect to have both stores available?

Actually, since they provided the ability to drill down in the classifications I think it got much easier - and since there are only 22 FAQ entries for "iwidmap" (I just looked) it shouldn't take too long to peruse them and find the one or several articles that provide the needed information
