iw-store copy/migration

windy

I have read the various migration threads but noe of them address my issue.

Here is my scenario....

TeamSite 6.7.2 running on windows 2003 server(VM)

The D drive where TeamSite is installed in 63gb and very close to full, so y drive is full and the sysetsm is close to unusable.

There is an rfc out to move the VM to to a SAN; the hostname will not change; a bigger drive will be created for TeamSite's use.

I'm assuming that I will take a copy of iw-store on the D drive.
Do I renistall TeamSite on the new Drive and just overwrite iw-store with the copied iw-store?

Advise/tips appreciated.

Is TeamSite (application) installed on \ drive?
Is Backing store (iw-store - data) located on \ drive too?
If so - this is not recommended - the backing store should generally have it's own partition (if on a local drive) or be placed on / mounted from a SAN / NAS device (See KB 49040 for information about doing that)

If you have both TeamSite and the backing store on the \ drive and are looking to relocate the backing store only - then you should not have to reinstall TeamSite at all. You will need to update the registry setting (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Interwoven\TeamSite\iw-store) to point to the new location of your backing store.

You might run into permission issues with the relocated backing store if you are moving it from a local drive to a SAN / NAS device -- check for KB articles on such, otherwise you may have to create a new blank store in the desired location and run iwmigrate (followed by iwfsshrink) to migrate the content from the old location to the new location.
